Jiayuguan is a major industrial city. In 1958, Jiuquan Iron and Steel Works established in Jiuquan, Gansu.This is the old administrative division. In 1958, Jiuquan County and Jinta County were merged to form the prefecture-level Jiuquan City (It is different from prefecture-level Jiuquan City today) until 1961. In 1965, parts of Jiuquan County and Sunan Yugur Autonomous County (Including Jiuquan Iron and Steel Works) were marked out to establish the County-level Jiayuguan City, which is under the direct jurisdiction of Gansu Government. Following Jiuquan Iron and Steel Works, the largest Iron and Steel Works in Gansu, was assigned to Jiayuguan City, mining and mineral processing are the primary industries of the city. In 1971, Jiayuguan City was changed to a prefecture-level city. By area, it is by far the smallest prefecture-level division of Gansu. It is also one of the four prefecture-level cities which has no districts.

The fortress at Jiayuguan is situated at the end of the portion of the Great Wall of China which was built by the Ming Dynasty, in the 14th century.{{cite magazine|title=Journey to China's Far West|first=Rick|last=Gore|magazine=National Geographic|page=314|date=March 1980|volume=157|issue=3|issn=0027-9358|oclc=643483454}}
