The area of Liaoning Province, a region of early Chinese settlement in the Northeast, was known as Shengjing in Qing, or Manchu, times (1644–1911/12). The area was redefined in 1907 and named Fengtian; in 1929 the boundaries were altered and it was renamed Liaoning (roughly, “Liao Peace”). From 1947 to 1954 the territory was divided into a western province, Liaoxi, and an eastern province, Liaodong. In 1954, however, a northern zone was detached and it was reestablished as a single province. It achieved its present form in 1956, when the former province of Jehol (Rehe) was partitioned and a portion added to Liaoning. Liaoning, Liaoxi, and Liaodong all take their names from the Liao River, which flows through the centre of the province. Precedents for the names date to Han times. Area 58,300 square miles (151,000 square km). Pop. (2010) 43,746,323.
