In 1696, when the army of Qing, with the participation of Khalkh princes, defeated the army of Galdan Boshgot Khan of Oirad, Namjil, the son of Toba Taiji, a nobleman of Tumenhen, earned the title of Taiji. The governor presented the award. Later, Tumenhen, in recognition of the good efforts of Oirat fighting on behalf of Mr. Manji of Sain noyon's lineage, cut off 19 counties from the territory of the khan province and established the province of Khalkh in 1725.
The 12 Year Secondary School won an award for best school of Arkhangai Aimag in 2012.
