The city was established as Tiefa City (Chinese: 铁法市; pinyin: Tiěfǎ shì), a compound name of nearby Tieling City and Faku County,[2] in 1982 as a coal production base. In 2002 it was renamed to Diaobingshan, which is the name of a mountain west of the city. Diaobingshan, which can be translated as 'troops dispatching mountain' is named for troop movements during the Jin dynasty being dispatched from here.[3]
