Panjin was established as a prefecture-level city with its current boundaries by the State Council on June 5, 1984.
Panjin is located between 40°40'−41°27' N and 121°31'−122°28' E, with its urban section mainly on the historical Liao River Delta. The Shuangtaizi River (which gives name to the city's Shuangtaizi District), formally the smaller western distributary but now the only lower section of the Liao River system, flows through the city and drains into the Liaodong Bay to its west between its Dawa District and Panshan County. The Daliao River, historically Liao River's larger eastern distributary and the main lower section but now a separate river system since 1958, runs east of Panjin, serving as the border between it and the neighboring cities of Anshan and Yingkou.
Panjin is a major crude oil production centre of Northeast China, with access to the Liaohe Oil Field, which was once the third largest oil field in China behind Daqing and Shengli Oil Fields.
Panjin has a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen Dwa). It has an annual mean temperature of 9.2 °C (48.6 °F) and receives over 2700 hours of sunshine a year.

Panjin North railway station (盘锦北站) is a significant rail hub located in Tianshui Township, Panshan County, Panjin City, Liaoning Province, China. It serves as an interchange for both the Qinhuangdao–Shenyang high-speed railway and the Panjin–Yingkou high-speed railway. The station was constructed in 2003 and commenced operations on April 18, 2004. Due to initial limitations in facilities and accessibility, a significant renovation was undertaken in June 2008. The upgraded station, featuring modern amenities, reopened on December 23, 2008, solidifying its role as a crucial transportation hub in the region.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
