The city was founded in 1925 , formally declared a city on October 7, 1939 , then under the name Shímén (石門). On December 26, 1947 , the city was renamed Shijiazhuang. Xibaipo - an important site of the Chinese revolution - was the seat of the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China during the War of Liberation.

The approximately 270 km long highway, which connects Shijiazhuang with Beijing , was built between 1986 and 1993 and was the first major Chinese highway project. On January 1st, 1989, there were 147 km of highways in the whole of China; today, an average of 5,000 km of new routes are completed in the country every year.

As in all major cities in China, air pollution is a major problem. In December 2016, Shijiazhuang was considered the most polluted city in all of China or even the world for over a month with a persistent dense bell of smog.
