Ergun City

Ergun (Chinese: 额尔古纳市; Mongolian: ᠡᠷᠬᠥᠨ᠎ᠠ ᠬᠣᠲᠠ), formerly Ergun Right Banner (Chinese: 额尔古纳右旗), is a county-level city in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, containing the autonomous region's northernmost point. The city has an area of 28,958 square kilometres (11,181 mi2), and a population of 79,155 as of 2019.

For most of its history, the region of present-day Ergun has been governed by ethnic minority regimes. The area first came under Chinese control during the Qing dynasty, when it was administered as part of Hulunbuir.

In 1908, the Jilalin Administrative Bureau (Chinese: 吉拉林设治局; pinyin: Jílālín Shèzhì Jú) was established to govern the area.

In 1920, the area was re-organized as the Qiqan Administrative Bureau (Chinese: 奇乾设治局; pinyin: Qíqián Shèzhì Jú), but the area was re-organized again in 1921 as Qiqan County (Chinese: 奇乾县; pinyin: Qíqián Xiàn).

In 1933, the area was re-organized as Ergun Right Banner (Chinese: 额尔古纳右旗; pinyin: É'ěrgǔnà Yòu Qí). From 1948 to 1966, Ergun Right Banner was merged with Ergun Left Banner [zh], which occupied present-day Genhe, as Ergun Left Banner. In 1994, Ergun Right Banner was abolished and the county-level city of Ergun was established.

By 2000, the city administered five towns, one township, and two ethnic townships. In 2001, the city was restructured to administer one subdistrict, two towns, one township, and two ethnic townships.

In 2006, Xincheng Subdistrict (Chinese: 新城街道; pinyin: Xīnchéng Jiēdào) was renamed to Labdalin Subdistrict [zh; ru], and Shangkuli Township (Chinese: 上库力乡; pinyin: Shàngkùlì Xiāng) was upgraded to Shangkuli Subdistrict [zh].

In 2011, Shiwei Russian Ethnic Township (Chinese: 室韦俄罗斯族民族乡; pinyin: Shìwéi Èluósī Zú Mínzú Xiāng) was abolished and Enhe Russian Ethnic Township and Mengwu Shiwei Sum were established. Engh Had [zh] was also established.
