The city has Phoenician and Roman roots and became the capital of the Roman province of Africa in the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus. Approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) to the east is the ancient Roman city of Leptis Magna.

During the Libyan civil war, rebels from Misrata entered the city without any resistance as the city was already liberated on 20 August before moving on to Tripoli
