History

[edit]

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.[3]

The Old Barag Banner is named after the Barga Mongols, who inhabited the area prior its official organization.[4]

The area of the present-day Old Barag Banner was organized by the Qing Dynasty in 1732.[4]

The current iteration of the Old Barag Banner was organized in 1919, but has undergone numerous administrative and boundary changes since then.[4]

The banner is home to vast grasslands, which host a number of tourist attractions.[3] The area is also home to various mineral deposits, which include coal, iron, copper, and zinc.[3]
