The area of present-day Fu County was a part of both the Xia Dynasty and Shang Dynasty, the earliest dynasties in Chinese history. During the Qin Dynasty, the area was incorporated as Diaoyin County ({{zh|labels=no|s=雕阴郡|t=|p=Diāoyīn Jùn}}). During the first year of Emperor Sui Yang's rule, the county was reorganized as Fucheng County ({{zh|labels=no|s=鄜城郡|t=|p=Fūchéng Jùn}}), which would be changed immediately after his rule in 618 CE to Fu Prefecture ({{zh|labels=no|s=鄜州|t=|p=Fū Zhōu}}). It remained this way for approximately 1,300 years until in 1912, under the rule of the Republic of China, Fu Prefecture was reorganized as Fu County ({{zh|labels=no|s=鄜县|t=|p=Fū xiàn}}). In 1964, the State Council of the People's Republic of China renamed the county to its current name, Fu County ({{zh|labels=no|s=富县|t=|p=Fù Xiàn}}).
