After the founding of PRC, the original site of Henan University Agricultural College: Ganheyan, Pota Temple and Experimental Farm in Kaifeng were expropriated respectively. In May 1950, the College of Agriculture was moved to Yuwangtai, Kaifeng, and in 1952, during the restructuring of the faculties of higher education in China, the College of Agriculture was established independently, and Henan Agricultural College was founded in Yuwangtai. In 1957, the school was moved from Yuwangtai, Kaifeng, to the site of Culture Road, Zhengzhou, and continued to operate.
