The institutional predecessor, known as Bo Da Academy of Sinkiang (simplified Chinese: 新疆博达书院/博大书院; traditional Chinese: 新疆博達書院/博大書院)(lit.
Sinkiang Academy of Erudition), was founded on August 14, 1891 by the then Qing Dynasty, when it was 20 years before the establishment of the Republic of China.

In the early ROC period, many well-educated Chinese intellectuals and political figures, converged on the school to pursue their studies in Xinjiang.
The former school president Yu Xiusong (Chinese: 俞秀松) (in office in 1936), came around and taught in the school as the then leader of the CPC Shanghai Leading Group and one of the founding members of the Communist Youth League of China (CYLC).
In 1938, Li Yunyang (Chinese: 李云扬), one of the CPC members dispatched by the Central Politburo, became president of the school.
Other major figures, such as the revolutionary martyr Lin Jilu, along with Shen Yanbing (writer), Zhao Dan (artist), have lectured in the school.
These people who had intensive revolutionary backgrounds affected the students deeply in their minds, bringing in Marxist ideology.
During the Second Sino-Japanese War, some of them also contrived to enlighten the students and the young generation and propagandized ideological guidance in an effort to help the country.
Their efforts contributed to the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang and created a hopeful atmosphere among the youths.
  
By 1953, the State Education Commission labelled the school as the sole key middle school in Xinjiang.
However, the Cultural Revolution inflicted heavy losses upon it; almost all stored books in its library totaling approximately 40,000 were rifled during that time.
With the resumption of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE, or CEE) in the late 1970s right after the Cultural Revolution, the school had been achieving progressive success in CEE results of the students.
In 1982, it was labelled once more in the first list of the country's best-run key schools.
Since 1995, the school has permanently ranked at the top places by CEE evaluation.
Through the public assessment, it was chosen as a city-level unit of spiritual civilization in the year 1995, and sequentially as the autonomous region-level one in the end of the same year.
Over the nearest past four years, the school's rate of matriculation (ROM) to college reached over 99% steadily.
The high school consolidated its top rank in Xinjiang high schools exposed by the CEE result.

In 2004, a civil North School of the No.
1 Senior High School of Urumqi (乌鲁木齐市第一中学北校) was founded by the school authorities and their collaborative company known as Xinjiang Jun Fa Industrial & Investment Co. Ltd (新疆俊发实业投资有限责任公司).

Starting from August, 2017, the school begin using the new campus located in the Xi'er Street(西二巷) of Kanasihubei Road(喀纳斯湖北路).
