History
The ancient name of Pengzhen was Yongfengchang. It was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed by Bingxian in the early Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in the 28th year of Qianlong (1763). Because a branch of the Danleng Peng Duanshu family migrated here, it was named Pengjiachang.

After the Communist Party of China came to power in 1949, Pengjia Town of the Third District was established. In 1953, Pengjia Town was divided into Pengzhen and Pengzhen Township. In 1958, Pengzhen’s organizational structure was dissolved, and Pengzhen Township, Ca'er Township, Hongshi Township and Ganzi Township  were merged to form the Dongfeng People’s Commune.

Pengzhen Township was re-established in 1983. The name reverted to Pengzhen in 1984. In 1992, Pengzhen and Ganzi Township merged, and the merged township is still named Pengzhen. In December 2019, the town of Jinqiao (金桥镇) was dissolved and its administrative area was placed under the jurisdiction of Pengzhen.
