History

In February 1924, the CCP established a Tianjin Party Group with Yu Shude as its leader. The group was directly affiliated with the CCP Beijing District Executive Committee. In September 1924, the founding meeting of the Tianjin Local Executive Committee was held, and Yu Fangzhou was selected as its chairman. In August 1927, it was renamed to become the Tianjin Municipal Committee. In early November 2018, it was renamed to become the Tianjin Special Administrative Region Committee. In January 1929, the committee was abolished and a Tianjin Work Office was created in February, which was later abolished in April. The Tianjin Municipal Committee was re-established in April 1930. It was abolished in September 1938.

On 28 August 1945, the Tianjin Working Committee was established by the Jizhong CCP Committee. On 1 April 1946, the Working Committee was abolished and the Municipal Committee was re-established. In March 1947, the Municipal Committee was abolished. In September 1948, during the Pingjin campaign, the CCP North China Bureau re-established the Tianjin Municipal Committee.
