History

The area was part of the Han dynasty, Tang dynasty, Liao Dynasty, and Yuan dynasty, and is still home to historical ruins from these eras.[1]

The Chen Barag Banner is named after the Barga Mongols, who inhabited the area prior its official organization.[2]

The area of the present-day Chen Barag Banner was organized by the Qing Dynasty in 1732.[2]

The current iteration of the Chen Barag Banner was organized in 1919, but has undergone numerous administrative and boundary changes since then.[2]

The banner is home to vast grasslands, which host a number of tourist attractions.[1] The area is also home to various mineral deposits, which include coal, iron, copper, and zinc.[1]
