History

Peyziwat County was established in July 1902.

In 1981, there was a brief pro-independence rebellion, the Jiashi uprising (1981年伽师县"5·27"暴乱), in the county staged by Uyghur activists after riots in Kashgar.

The 1997 Jiashi earthquakes, continuing to 2003, were a series of deadly earthquakes in the county. Rebiya Kadeer wrote that her career was significantly affected by the earthquakes, which were "one of the worst natural disasters that had occurred in the Uyghur nation in recent memory." One hundred villages and one thousand homes were leveled. Kadeer organized donations and aid for the area. In February 2002, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake killed 267 people in Maralbexi County and Payzawat County.

On 27 August 2008, two ethnic Uyghur police officers were killed.{{cite web

On 20 October 2014, Shaptul (Xiaputule) was changed from a township to a town.

In 2017, Jiashi County Secondary Vocational School (伽师县中等职业学校), one of the Xinjiang internment camps, was increased in size, adding new dormitories and factory warehouses; significant security features were added through the introduction of secure 'military-style management'.

On the night of 19 January 2020, a strong earthquake (2020年喀什地震) damaged buildings and seriously injured at least one person in the county.
