Zhengding City was first built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it was originally built of stone. Due to historical reasons and the development of urban construction in recent years, Zhengding City has mostly been an earthen city except for the existing city gate. The east city gate has been buried under the defense fortifications, the south gate Cunli city gate and Wengcheng gate, the Xicunli city gate, Wengcheng gate, Beicunli city gate and Yuecheng gate.

In the first year of Tang Baoying (762), due to the flooding of the Hutuo River, the city was in ruins day by day, and the rulers expanded and built the city wall. In the 14th year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1449), it was expanded into an earth city with a circumference of 24 miles, a height of three feet and two feet, and an upper width of two feet. In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), Gu Shou, the magistrate of Zhending County, began to change the earth city into a brick city. Later, Zhou Yingzhong, the county magistrate, applied for more than 60,000 taels of treasury silver, expropriated the people of the counties under the jurisdiction of Zhending Prefecture, and started construction in sections. Year (1576) completed. The gates of the four cities are called Yingxu in the east, Changle in the south, Zhenyuan in the west, and Yong'an in the north, all of which are attached with Yuecheng and Wengcheng. Reconstruction or reconstruction in later generations is also carried out on this basis. Played an important role in flood prevention and military defense.

Zhengding City Wall was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit by the Hebei Provincial People's Government on July 15, 1993.
