The current Rencheng District was formed in December of 1993 after the former Jining Suburban district (Chinese: 济宁市郊区) was renamed Rencheng District (Chinese: 任城区). In November of 2013 Shizhong District was abolished and merged into Rencheng District forming the current boundaries of the district.

As of 2013, this district is divided to 15 subdistricts and 5 townships.
