Sa kasaysayan, ang Haiphong ang unang lugar sa Biyetnam atIndotsinana nakakuha ngkuryente.
Sa panahong imperyal ng Đại Việt, ang Ilog Bạch Đằng sa Haiphong ay isang lugar ng maraming maalamat na tagumpay, na pinamunuan ng mga maalamat na kumander na sina Ngô Quyền at Trần Hưng Đạo. Noong ika-16 na siglo, itinaguyod ng Dinastiyang Mạc ang baybaying pamayanan bilang pangalawang kabisera, na lumago upang maging isang mahalagang daungang bayan ng Đàng Ngoài. Matapos ang pananakop ng mga Pranses sa Biyetnam, noong 1888, ang pangulo ng Ikatlong Republika ng Pransya, si Sadi Carnot, ay nagpahayag ng isang utos na itatag ang Haiphong bilang isa sa mga pangunahing lungsod ngIndotsinang Pranses. Mula 1954 hanggang 1975, ang Haiphong ay nagsilbing pinakamahalagang lungsod sa dagat ngHilagang Biyetnam. Ito ay isa sa mga direktang kontroladong munisipalidad ng isang muling pinagkaisang Biyetnam kasama angHanoiatlungsod ng Ho Chi Minhnoong 1976. Noong ika-21 siglo, ang Haiphong ay nasa ilalim ng aktibong land reclamation, ang pinakahuling pagsisikap ay ang pagtatayo ngDike ng Timog Đình Vũnoong 2022.
Ang Haiphong ay isang sikat na pasyalang bakasyon at kilala sa mga biological reservation sa Pulo ng Cát Bà. Para sa malawak na daungan nito, ang lungsod ay nangunguna ng punong-tanggapan ng Hukbong-dagat ng Bayan ng Biyetnam   . Ang royal poinciana ay karaniwang nauugnay sa Haiphong sa kulturang Biyetnames.
Ang kasalukuyang Haiphong ay ang tahanan ni Lê Chân, isa sa mga babaeng heneral sa ilalim ng utos ng Magkakapatid na Babae ng Trưng na bumangon laban sa pangingibabaw ng Tsino noong 40 CE at namuno hanggang sa kanilang pagkatalo noong 43 CE. Si Lê Chân ay kinilala na nagtatag ngHải tần Phòng thủ("Pinirotektahang Baybaying-dagat") sa panahon ng digmaan laban kay heneral Ma Yuan ngDinastiyang Han. 
Pagkalipas ng mga siglo sa ilalim ng paghahari ng Emperador ng Nguyễn na siTự Đứcang lugar ay nakakuha ng tawag na:Hải- Dương thương-chính quan-phòng(" Ang Trading defensive na lugar ng Lalawigan Ng Hải Dương").
Noong ika-19 na siglo, sa pagtatapos ng paghahari ni Tựđ Đức, angHang Kenh Communal Housesa kung ano ngayon ang lungsod Distrito Ng Le Chan ay ginawang administratibong upuan ng Distrito Ng An Dương, na binabalik ang rehiyonal na kahalagahan nito. Nang panahong iyon, ang lugar ay naging isang malaking daungan sa komersyo.
Sa bisperas ng pananakop ng Pransya noong 1881, isang bagyo ang sumira sa lugar, na pumatay ng 3,000 katao sa loob at sa paligid ng Haiphong. Sa kabila ng mga pinsala, ang Haiphong ay binuo ng mga Pranses upang maglingkod bilang  ang pangunahing kuta ng hukbong-dagat ngIndotsinasa sumunod na mga dekada.
Kasunod ng pagkatalo ngHaponsaIkalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, Ang mga Biyetnames na nasyonalista ay nabalisa para sa kalayaan laban sa pagbabalik ng Pranses. Ang mga puwersa ng Pransya ay lumipad sa Haiphong at nakatagpo ng paglaban na nagresulta sa pagkamatay ng tatlong sundalong Pranses. Bilang paghiganti, ang mga barkong Pranses, kasama ng mga ito ang cruiser na <i id="mwag">Suffren</i> ay nagtanggal ng proteksyon ng lungsod at  sinunog ito na naging dahilan upang magsimula ang Unang Digmaang Indotsina. Mga puwersa ng hukbo ng Pransya sa ilalim ni Jean-Étienne Valluy  ay pumasok sa lungsod at nakikipaglaban sa mga bahay-bahay sa suporta ng mga armadong hukbo at eroplano.
Huli saDigmaang Biyetnam, Ang Haiphong ay sumailalim sa mabigat na pagbomba ng mga eroplano ng pag-atake ng Hukbong Dagat atHukbong Himpapawid ng Estados Unidosdahil ito ay ang tanging pangunahing daungan ngHilagang Biyetnam. Ang Almirante ng Estados Unidos na si Thomas H. Moorer ay nag-utos ng pagmimina ng harbor ng Haiphong noong 8 Mayo 1972, na epektibong nirestrikta ang daungan hanggang sa ito'y alisin. Ang pagmimina ay hindi nagdulot ng mga biktima. Sa kabila ng pagiging tudlaan, ang pisikal na istraktura ng lungsod ay halos hindi naapektuhan ng digmaan dahil ang Estados Unidos ay may isang self-imposed prohibition zone para sa lungsod. Pagkatapos ng digmaan, nakuha ng lungsod ang papel nito bilang isang makabuluhang sentro ng industriya.
