Ancient historical records hold different views on the construction time and history of the city. Some records date it back to before the Han Dynasty. Others state that it was a garrison and fief of Gongsun Ao, Marquis of Heqizhui in the Han Dynasty, who stationed troops here to resist the Xiongnu.

Records of Changlu Salt Administration refers to the site as Fuyi City, built to defend against Tuoba Yilu, leader of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe. New Records of Yanshan County notes that "Fudi" is likely a phonetic distortion of "Fuyi". Based on this claim, the city was constructed in the Western Jin Dynasty.
