In the Zhou era, these places were a zone of migration of Zhouses, and then di. In the era of Woosen and Autumn, these places became part of the Jin kingdom, and after the three families divided the Jin , they became part of the Wei kingdom. Subsequently, the kingdom of Wei was conquered by the kingdom of Qin, which eventually created the first centralized empire in Chinese history. In the Qin Empire, these places were part of Gaonu County (高 奴 县), and their southeastern part was part of Dingyang County (定 阳县).

After Xiang Yu overthrew the Qin empire, he divided the lands of the modern Shaanxi province between his three associates, whom he made princes. Dong Yi became Divan (翟 王) and received the northern lands with the capital just in these places. Liu Bang , having created the Han empire, liquidated the principalities created by Xiang Yu, and Gaonu County reappeared in these places. During the time of Van Man’s dictatorship , it was renamed Pinley, but under the Eastern Han Empire, the county was returned to its former name. In 189, these places were captured by the Huns, and for a long time passed under the power of nomads.

In the second half of the IV century, these places became part of the Early Qin state, which united almost all of northern China, and then - into the Late Qin state. In 407, the Huns created the state of Great Xia here . In 427, the territory was captured by the forces of Northern Wei, and this territory was called the "Three Hills", since there were three border outposts that could help each other. In 456, Linzhen County (临 真 县) was established in the southern part of the modern district near the Zhenchuan River, and in the western region, Voe County (沃野 县). In 477, in the eastern part of the modern district, Guangyu County (广 武 县) was formed, in which, from 513, the authorities of the Dongxia Region (с 夏州) were located. Under the Western Wei Empire, in 537, the western part of Linzhen County was allocated to Zhenchuan County (真 川 县), and Wenan County (文安县) was allocated from Guangu County. In 554, the Dongxia area was renamed Yanzhou (延 州). Under the Northern Zhou Empire, in 577, Guangu County was renamed Fenglin (丰 林 县).

Under the Sui Empire, in 598, Voe County was annexed to Fenglin County, and in 605, Zhenchuan County was annexed to Linzhen County. In 607, at the junction of Fenglin and Jinming counties (金 明 二 县), Fushi county was created (肤 施 县, later Jinming county was annexed to Fushi county); at the same time, the zhou regions were liquidated in the country and the jun districts were reintroduced, so the Yanzhou region was transformed into the Yan'an (延安 郡) district, whose authorities were located in Fushi County.

After the formation of the Tang Empire, the Yan'an County was again transformed into the Yanzhou Region in 618, and the Jinming County was again allocated from Fushi County in 619. In 742, the Yanzhou Region became Yan'an County again, but in 758 the Yan'an County was again renamed the Yanzhou Region.

Under the Song Empire in 1072, the Fenglin and Jinming counties were annexed to the Fushi county. In 1089, the Yanzhou region was elevated in status, and became the Yan'an government (延安 府); the authorities of the council were still located in the county of Fushi, and in all 7 districts were subordinate to them.

After the Mongol conquest, Lingzhen County was annexed to Ganquan County (甘泉 县) in 1264.

After the Xinhai revolution , administrative reform was carried out in China, and in 1913 the councils were liquidated.

Since 1935, Communist troops appeared in these places, who began to create their own governing bodies. In May 1935, Yan'an County (延安 县) was established in the northern part of the modern district. In July, the Fugan County (肤 甘 县) was created in the southern part of the modern district on the border with Ganquan County, and in the southeastern part of the modern district, part of Ganquan County was allocated to Hongquan County (红 泉 县). In September 1935, Ganfu County was divided, and Fushi County reappeared.

After the Xi'an incident , the entire county of Fushi came under the control of the Communists. On January 13, 1937, the Central Committee of the CPC moved to the administrative center of Fushi County, and the urbanized part of the county was allocated to the city of Yan'an. In February 1937, Fushi County (formerly Fugan County) was annexed to Yan'an County. In March 1937, Hongquan and Yichuan counties were merged into Hongyi County (红 宜 县). After the outbreak of war with Japan, Hongyi County was renamed Gulin (固 临县). In August 1948, Linzhen County (临 镇 县) was formed at the junction of Yan'an and Gulin counties. In February 1949, Lingzhen County was disbanded, and its territory was divided between Yan'an and Yanchang counties. In March 1949, the city of Yan'an was disbanded, and its territory - annexed to the county of Yan'an.

In May 1950, the Yan'an Special Region (延安 专区) was established, and Yan'an County became part of it. In 1958, the Ganquan and Ansai counties were annexed to the Yan'an county, but in 1961 they were recreated. In 1969, the Yan'an Special District was renamed the Yan'an County (延安 地区). In 1970, the urbanized area of ​​Yan'an County was administratively separated into a separate district, reporting directly to the county government, and in 1972, this area was transformed into the city of Yan'an. In 1975, Yan'an County was annexed to the city of Yan'an.

In 1996, by decree of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, the Yan'an District and the city of Yan'an were disbanded, and the Yan'an City District was formed; the territory of the former city of Yan'an became the Baot district in its composition.

The district is divided into 5 street committees , 9 villages and 4 volosts .
