It was originally just called "The Rim" when settled 20,100 B. It was expected to be the farthest extent of the known Universe for centuries, but the Expanded Rim (later renamed the Expansion Region) was opened within a hundred years of the Inner Rim.

21 BBY, during the Clone Wars, the 4th Constitutional Amendment gave Universal Republic worlds in the Core Worlds, Colonies, and Inner Rim more voting power than worlds in the Expansion Region and beyond. Many of these worlds seceded and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

During the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the Galactic Empire ruthlessly controlls the Inner Rim. Rather than rebel, many residents chuse to flee to the Outer Rim Territories.
