History

The ward's name was inherited from the former Chũ town in the former Bắc Giang province.

The Standing Committee of the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 1658/NQ-UBTVQH15 on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units in Bắc Ninh province in 2025 (the resolution took effect on 16 June 2025). Accordingly, the entire natural area and population of Chũ ward, Thanh Hải ward, Hồng Giang ward, and Trù Hựu ward (in the former Chũ town) were merged to form a new ward named Chũ.

On 24 August 2026, the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 39/2026/QH16 establishing Bắc Ninh city from the entire natural area and population of Bắc Ninh province. The resolution took effect on 20 September 2026. Chũ ward has since been part of Bắc Ninh city.
