History
The county's area has been inhabited as early as during the Xirong people era.[4] In 2006, the Majiayuan site was discovered, a Warring States period cemetery.[6]
In 1863, during the Dungan Revolt, Zhangjiachuan was subject of a fierce battle between the Qing army and the Hui defendants.[7]
Thousands of Hui refugees expelled from Shaanxi during the revolt and their descendants settled (who were refused the right to return by the Qing) and their descendants today continue to live in Zhangjiachuan.[citation needed]
