Minning, which literally means "Fujian–Ningxia", was named by Xi Jinping in 1997, then deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the leader of the Fujian-Ningxia poverty-alleviation leading group. The town was officially established in 2001 after its population swelled to 14,000. Most of its residents are resettled farmers from Xihaigu in southern Ningxia, one of the poorest places in China and a main target of the government's poverty-alleviation resettlement program.
The 2021 TV series Minning Town is based on the history of this town. It depicts poverty alleviation efforts. Starring Huang Xuan, Zu Feng, Rayzha Alimjan, Zhang Jiayi, Huang Yao, Bai Yufan, Guo Jingfei, You Yongzhi, Yao Chen, Huang Jue, Tao Hong, Yan Ni with Wang Kai and Bai Yu, the show was a huge critical success and described as "a new standard for Chinese dramas".
