Chia-I County was originally a land of Pin-Pu Tribes (aborigines dwell on the plains). During the Zheng Cheng-Gong Period in Ming Dynasty, the area was annexed into the jurisdiction of the Tian-Xing County. Fourteenth year of Kang Xi Period, Qing Dynasty, the name of the county was changed to Zhu Luo, which was derived from its mountainous geographical feature (trans note: Zhu means "many" and Luo means "spread out" or a "row of something"; therefore, the phrase collectively means surrounded by mountains).

Fifty-first year of Qian Long Period, Qing Dynasty, Lin Xuang-Wen instigated a revolt. During the revolt, Zhu Luo officials and residents joined force to ward off the rebels; therefore, the Qing Government "commend (Chia)" its loyalty and "righteousness (I)" and named it Chia-I.
