Capital City of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar and in the scope of the anniversary the
UB Office in collaboration with local Administrations and NGOs are celebrating
the festivity in a broad ranges.
The Capital
City of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar is the political, economic and cultural centre of
the country. The city was first founded in current territory of Burd Sum of Uvurkhangai
Aimag in 1639.
Thereafter, the
name of the city was changed for several times. It was initially named Urguu
(Urgoo) in 1639-1706, Ikh Khuree in 1706-1911, Niislel Khuree in 1911-1923, and
renamed as Ulaanbaatar right after the proclamation of the Mongolian People's
Republic in 1924.
History of the Capital City of Mongolia
Urguu
Formation of
the Mongolian Capital has a trace from XVII century. In the year of Yellow
Rabbit by lunar calendar, exorbitant and influential noblemen proclaimed
Zanabazar, son of the Tusheet Khan Gombodorj who was one of the 4 lofty
noblemen as the Mongolian Buddhism and built a special monastery complex for
him. It was more palatial-like than monastery. Later, Urgoo (means Palace) had
been developing as Zanabazar’s reputation and influence grew in the Mongolian
social life.
Ikh Khuree
Returning home
from Tibet in 1700, Zanabazar started extending Urgoo as the Mongolian
religious center. In 1706, Battsagaan temple was built under an ordinance of
Zanabazar at the place namely Erdene Tolgoi, and it was the foundation of the
Ikh Khuree (means Big Circle). Although, Ikh Khuree had been stretching, its
location had been changed several times.
Thus, Ikh
Khuree moved 17 times within 30 years period, even twice a year. The repeated
moves, of course, delayed significantly the Ikh Khuree's development.
Researcher's survey shows that the transition process of Ikh Khuree from
nomadism to settlement basically finalized in 70 years in 1706-1778, and
urbanization process is considered to be started from the very time.
In 1855, Ikh
Khuree removed to the Selbe valley, where residents started building numerous
monasteries and temples, in particular building firm and sturdy constructions
and houses, which more suited to settled civilization.
Niislel Khuree
In the wake of
the struggle for liberty by Mongolian people, Manchu Ambassador Sando was
exiled and in 1911, a ceremony for the proclamation of the Bogd Jebtsundamba
Khutugtu as the Theocratic Monarch and the Head of the revived Mongolian State
was took place in Ikh Khuree.
Ulaanbaatar
The first State
Congress, convened in 1924, passed a decision on October 29 to rename Niislel
Khuree as Ulaanbaatar, legalizing its status as the Capital of the Mongolian
People's Republic.
The "Law
on Capital's Legal Status; was enacted just prior to the 355th anniversary of
the city's establishment. The Capital city carries out its independent
urbanization, socio-economic and it possesses its own flag and symbol",
was indicates in the law.
