History

The area was part of the Liao Dynasty, and is still home to historical ruins from that era.[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 underwent numerous administrative and boundary changes since then.[2]

Economy

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]

Transportation

National Highway 301 and Inner Mongolia Provincial Highway 201 both pass through the banner.[1] Additionally, the Binzhou Railway also passes through the banner.[1]

Administrative Divisions

Since restructuring in 2011, the Chen Barag Banner has maintained jurisdiction over three towns and four sumu.[2][1] One of the four sumu governed by the banner is the Evenk Ethnic Sumu,[2][1] which is home to a large concentration of ethnically Evenk People.
