Present-day Cầu Giấy district was a rural agricultural area and lay within Từ Liêm, a periphery district of Thăng Long city. By the Nguyễn dynesty, the area belonged to Hoài Đức district. On 22 November 1996, the district was officially incorporated. It experienced very rapid urbanization since the 2000s, causing intense gentrification and disappearance of traditional artisan economy. By 2030s, all of Cầu Giấy's farmland will be completely displaced by urban developments.
