The newspaper was founded on 8 August 1949 under the name Yongjiang Daily as the official newspaper of the Ningbo Prefectural Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In July 1950, Yongjiang Daily merged with Ningbo People's Daily and changed its name to Ningbo Times. In September 1951, Ningbo Times was renamed Ningbo Dazhong, and in October 1972, it ceased publication. After the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, Ningbo News resumed publication on 1 June 1980, and was co-sponsored by the Ningbo Municipal Committee of the CCP. On New Year's Day 1983, Ningbo News changed its name to Ningbo Daily.
