麟(lin)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)城(cheng)始(shi)建于唐代開元十二(er)年(nian)（公元724），廢棄于明代正統八年(nian)（公元1443），歷時(shi)719年(nian)。五代麟(lin)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)刺史楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)宏信及其(qi)長子(zi)楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)重勛和其(qi)孫楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)光，世代守衛著麟(lin)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)，抵御契丹、西夏守衛國(guo)土(tu)。而楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)宏信的次子(zi)楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)業和其(qi)孫楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)延(yan)昭均為(wei)宋代名將(jiang)，在山(shan)西朔州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)北(bei)距契丹，稱雄(xiong)一方。由于麟(lin)州(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)故(gu)城(cheng)與楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)家(jia)將(jiang)的淵源關系，后(hou)代人們懷著對(dui)楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)氏(shi)英雄(xiong)的崇敬心情，將(jiang)此城(cheng)稱為(wei)楊(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)家(jia)城(cheng)，延(yan)續(xu)至今。
2005年榆林(lin)市考古所在西城(cheng)西關還發掘了一處遺址，被稱為刺史府。
2009年7月到10月，陜西省考古(gu)(gu)研究院與(yu)榆林市考古(gu)(gu)隊對麟州故城遺址進行了考古(gu)(gu)調查、勘探與(yu)測繪。
麟(lin)州城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)址(zhi)(zhi)北鄰草地溝(gou)，西鄰窟野(ye)河，東(dong)(dong)接(jie)桃峁梁(liang)，南與麻(ma)堰溝(gou)接(jie)壤，高(gao)差約200米。城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)址(zhi)(zhi)呈不規則長條形。整個城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)址(zhi)(zhi)由3座小(xiao)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)組成，分別為(wei)東(dong)(dong)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、西城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)和(he)紫錦(jin)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)。從考古人(ren)員航拍圖中可(ke)以看到，三(san)座城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中，紫錦(jin)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)位于西城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)和(he)東(dong)(dong)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)的(de)中間，由東(dong)(dong)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)和(he)西城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)護衛著，而東(dong)(dong)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)和(he)西城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)要(yao)(yao)么臨溝(gou)壑，要(yao)(yao)么靠山(shan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻護衛，倚(yi)仗高(gao)山(shan)、溝(gou)壑這些天(tian)然屏障，麟(lin)州城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)已經呈現易(yi)守難攻之勢。
據陜西省(sheng)考古研究院肖健一(yi)介(jie)紹(shao)，整個(ge)(ge)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)址(zhi)面(mian)積約為(wei)1.12平(ping)方公(gong)里(li)，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)周長約5.4公(gong)里(li)。東城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、西城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)和(he)紫錦城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)，三(san)個(ge)(ge)小(xiao)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)既相(xiang)互聯系又相(xiang)對獨立。東城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)有(you)一(yi)門(men)(men)可(ke)以進(jin)入(ru)(ru)，西城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)沒有(you)門(men)(men)，雖(sui)然可(ke)以通過兩個(ge)(ge)門(men)(men)進(jin)入(ru)(ru)紫錦城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)，然而(er)想要不被(bei)守城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)官(guan)兵發(fa)現(xian)很難(nan)。肖健一(yi)解釋(shi)說，以紫錦城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)例(li)，如果想要從東城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)南(nan)門(men)(men)進(jin)入(ru)(ru)，門(men)(men)口(kou)的城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻(qiang)設有(you)馬面(mian)，馬面(mian)上的守城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)者可(ke)清(qing)楚看到入(ru)(ru)侵者，即(ji)使(shi)進(jin)了(le)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)，甕城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)形(xing)成甕中捉鱉之勢，相(xiang)信入(ru)(ru)侵者也難(nan)以再進(jin)入(ru)(ru)下一(yi)關，而(er)此(ci)時也無法撤(che)退(tui)出(chu)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)。
三(san)座小城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)是(shi)互通的，如果有一(yi)座城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)有入侵者進(jin)攻，其(qi)他(ta)兩城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)均可立即(ji)派兵前往支援。城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)防(fang)工事(shi)中甕城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻(qiang)(qiang)、馬面(mian)、角樓等均保留很好(hao)，尤其(qi)是(shi)位于(yu)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)址中部(bu)的紫錦城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)，有一(yi)殘存(cun)20米保存(cun)非(fei)常好(hao)的夯筑墻(qiang)(qiang)體，墻(qiang)(qiang)體上部(bu)為麟州城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)的高(gao)點(dian)，估計可能(neng)為曾被(bei)很多名人詩(shi)句(ju)提到的紅(hong)樓遺址。考古調查(cha)中發(fa)現，東城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)中有大量且(qie)密(mi)集的建筑遺址，估計可能(neng)多為老百姓居住。西(xi)(xi)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)同樣發(fa)現有建筑遺址，地面(mian)由(you)磚鋪而成，估計當時的刺(ci)史(shi)府應(ying)該在此，而且(qie)西(xi)(xi)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)可能(neng)還有更高(gao)的軍事(shi)防(fang)御機(ji)關，但此次調查(cha)未能(neng)發(fa)現。
此(ci)次除對麟州(zhou)(zhou)故城(cheng)(cheng)本身進行(xing)了(le)(le)(le)調查(cha)外，還對城(cheng)(cheng)址(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)背面(mian)殘存的墩臺及東面(mian)、南(nan)面(mian)的營堡進行(xing)了(le)(le)(le)調查(cha)，采(cai)集到了(le)(le)(le)132件文(wen)物標(biao)本，發現(xian)各類遺(yi)跡現(xian)象95處(chu)(chu)，其中(zhong)門址(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)10處(chu)(chu)、墩臺2處(chu)(chu)、馬面(mian)5處(chu)(chu)、角樓3處(chu)(chu)、夯土(tu)基(ji)址(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)2處(chu)(chu)等。在調查(cha)勘探的基(ji)礎上，對麟州(zhou)(zhou)故城(cheng)(cheng)遺(yi)址(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)周邊(bian)約10平方(fang)公里的區域進行(xing)了(le)(le)(le)航空遙感(gan)調查(cha)，制作(zuo)了(le)(le)(le)航空遙感(gan)影像(xiang)圖(tu)，建立了(le)(le)(le)數字高程模型，為制定麟州(zhou)(zhou)故城(cheng)(cheng)文(wen)物保護規劃及有效保護這一珍貴歷史文(wen)化遺(yi)存提(ti)供了(le)(le)(le)科學、詳實的資(zi)料和(he)依據。同(tong)樣因為此(ci)次的調查(cha)，揭秘了(le)(le)(le)麟州(zhou)(zhou)故城(cheng)(cheng)嚴密的防御體系。
2006年(nian)5月國務院(yuan)公布為第六批全(quan)國重點文物保護單位。
