Under the name Jingzhou, Jingchuan was formerly the seat of Gansu's Jing Prefecture. The site of former Jingzhou is near the county seat of Jingchuan. The ancient city was built starting in the period of the Western Han dynasty and abandoned in the early Ming dynasty. Parts of the old city are still preserved.

During the Republic of China (1912–1949) period it was renamed from Jing County to Jingchuan to avoid confusion with Anhui's Jing County which shared the same name.[2]

Since 1983, Jingchuan has been a model county for reforestation of the Loess Plateau.[3] It is a key county in the Three-North Shelter Forest Program.[4]
