Yima was founded two years before the Qin Dynasty established the new county system (it took 81 years to build the city). After the People's Republic of China was founded, Yima was given county-level status in Henan Province in 1981. It was originally under the administration of Luoyang. However, since 1986, it has been under the administration of Sanmenxia. It is also one of China's top one hundred counties, as well as the smallest city in China (112 square kilometers with a population of about 160,000).[2]
