Ceheng County traces its administrative origins to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. It preserves diverse historical and cultural legacies including the ancient Luodian Kingdom ruins, former chieftain residences, ancient tomb clusters, rock relief carvings, totem worship, Buddhist-Taoist shamanism, and ritual music-dance traditions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ceheng County People's Government was established in 1951. It successively belonged to Xingren Special Administrative Region, Xingyi Prefecture, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, and Anshun Prefecture. In 1957, the State Council approved the relocation of the County People's Committee from Ceyang to Zhelou to build a new county seat. In 1958, Ceheng County was abolished and merged into Anlong County. In 1961, Ceheng County was reestablished. In 1965, the State Council approved the dissolution of Ceheng County and established Ceheng Buyi Autonomous County, which remained under Xingyi Prefecture. In 1981, Ceheng Buyi Autonomous County was transferred to Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Concurrently, the autonomous county structure was dissolved and Ceheng County was reestablished.
