The district owes its name to its location; it is situated in front of the former Świdnica Gate, which was within the city walls on the route from Wrocław's Market Square to Świdnica.[2]
In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Przedmieście Świdnickie became one of the city's 48 districts.[3]
