The history of Shangqiu is closely related to the very beginning of Chinese history.

The son of Emperor Ku, Qi , who helped Yu the Great to control floods, was enfeoffed the area of Shang , who also became the ancestor of the ancient nationality of ''Shang''.

Situated on the North China Plain, Shangqiu is traditionally an agricultural region. The fertile soil and convenient irrigation facilities greatly help the production of crops and other plants. As of 2005, there are about 719,864 hectare planted. The most important agricultural products are wheat, maize, cotton, sesame, vegetables, fruit, tobacco, and livestock. In 2002, it produced about 4.5 million tons of crops, 200 thousand tons of cotton, 1.1 million tons of fruits, and 550 thousand tons of livestock.
Compared with the agriculture, the industry of Shangqiu is relatively less-developed. However, since the 1990s, it has experienced rapid growth. The food producing and packing company, Kedi group, has already been the number one exporter of frozen vegetables in the country. The large reservation of coal in Shangqiu also boosts up the energy industry, such as electricity generation and Aluminium electrolysis.
Since the completion of east-west running Longhai railway in 1916, Shangqiu has been a local transportation center. This standing is greatly enhanced following the construction of the Beijing-Kowloon railway in 1996, which crosses with Longhai railway at Shangqiu. Nowadays, Longhai railway has become the Chinese segment of the larger "European-Asia continental landbridge," which runs from the sea port city Lianyungang to Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Shangqiu thus obtains the name of the city of the "golden cross." On the other hand, the road transport is also convenient and getting even better. The east-west direction Lianyungang-Khorghas national route 310 and north-south Beijing-Zhuhai national routh 105 also cross at Shangqiu. Highway traffic is fast-developing too. The Shangqiu-Kaifeng
segment of the Lianyungang-Khorghas highway is already in use. Future planning for highway construction is also underway.
The education sector of Shangqiu is mainly professional training oriented, with an
increasing number of such colleges coming into sight ever since the 1990s.
