The history of Qingcheng dates back to prehistoric settlements 200,000 years ago.

During the late Shang dynasty era, it became part of Yiqu state. In 266 BC it was conquered by the Qin dynasty. In 221 BC, the Qin set up the county seat of Beidi (北地郡) in present day Maling town, ruling over what was then named Yiqu County, where the present day county seat is located.
