The settlement stems
from the Möröngiin Khuree monastery which had been founded in 1809/11 on the
banks of the Delgermörön river. By the beginning of the 20th century, the
monastery had grown to a population of about 1300 lamas, but was destroyed in
1937. A small new monastery Danzadarjaa Khiid has been erected on the western
edge of the town in the 1990s.
