An earthquake location method should be presented by using historical earthquakes in the local area and search the nearest earthquake as reference earthquake with calculations between reference earthquake and unknown earthquake. The new method has less depend on station corrections and has less influence by distribution of station, focal depth and the time of earthquake occurrence. As abundance of historical earthquakes database, the precision of location will be improved.
