The school has a long history. The school originated from the Tongcheng Middle School Normal Class founded by Ma Qichang, a representative of the late Tongcheng School in 1904. Over the past 119 years, the school has changed its name six times, changed its site five times, and upgraded its level four times. It is the only public normal college in southwest Anhui. In March 2010, with the approval of the Ministry of Education and the People's Government of Anhui Province, the school was officially upgraded to Tongcheng Normal College (abbreviated as Tongcheng Normal College). In January 2022, it started a joint training program with Anqing Normal University, opening a new chapter in undergraduate education.
