The university was first established in 1958 as Hebei Textile Institute (河北纺织工学院). After several reorganizations, the university finally renamed to its current Chinese name in 2000. The English name used by the university from 2000 to 2019 was Tianjin Polytechnic University, despite the consistency of its Chinese name.
The university currently has fourteen colleges and two campuses in Tianjin. The original campus was located in Hedong, and the new campus is located in Xiqing.
