Little is yet known of the early history of Terqa, though it was a sizable entity even in the Early Dynastic period.

In the 2nd millennium BC it was under the control of Shamshi-Adad, followed by Mari in the time of Zimri-Lim, and then by Babylon after Mari's defeat by Hammurabi of the First Babylonian dynasty, Terqa became the leading city of the kingdom of Khana after the decline of Babylon.
Later, it fell into the sphere of the Kassite dynasty of Babylon and eventually the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
A noted stele of Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta II was found at Terqa.
