明洪武二年（1369），兴州降为兴县①，属太原府苛岚州②。治所在今兴县。清朝属太原府③。民国迄今县名不改。

注：
①《明史?地理二》苛岚州：“兴州西南。元兴州，洪武二年降为县。”
（中华书局1974年4月第1版，卷四十一，961页）
②《读史方舆纪要》兴县：“（唐）贞观元年复改（临津）为合河县。宋因之。金末升为兴州，属太原府。元仍旧。明洪武二年降为县，九年改今属。”
（中华书局2005年4月第1版，卷四十，1865页）
③光绪《山西通志?府州厅县考一》兴县：“元，兴州，为下州，隶太原路。中统二年，改为合河县。三年，复旧。明降为兴县，隶太原府苛岚州。国朝隶府。雍正三年，析保德州为直隶州，以兴县隶焉。八年，仍改兴县隶太原府。”
