Historical evolution:

The first ethnic group recorded in historical records living in the Hailar area is the Donghu, an ancient nomadic people in northern China.

In the first year of Hu Hai (209 BC), the second year of Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu killed his father and established himself on his own. Then he launched an attack on the Donghu people, defeated them in one fell swoop, and established the first nomadic government in Chinese history. ——Hongnu, Hailar is under the jurisdiction of Zuoxian King's Court.

During the Han Dynasty, the Huns harassed the border areas. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing out to the north of the Great Wall to conquer the Huns and reached the Luqu River (now the Kulun River). This was the beginning of the arrival of Chinese troops in Hulunbuir. The Xiongnu were immediately destroyed, and the Xianbei people took over the Xiongnu's homeland. In the 1st century AD, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, descendants of the Donghu people, gradually became stronger and "moved south to Daze" via the Hailar River. Hailar was the eastern jurisdiction of the Xianbei Tribal Alliance

During the Sui Dynasty, the Turks became powerful and belonged to it.

The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, and the Hailar area came under the jurisdiction of Shiwei Dudufu. The demise of the Turks allowed the Shiwei-Tatars to gradually advance westward, and the entire territory of Hulunbuir became the land of Shiwei-Tatars.

In the Song Dynasty, the Khitan people regained their strength and established the Liao Kingdom. The land of Shiwei belonged to them all, and the Hailar area came under the jurisdiction of the Ugu Dilie Army.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Hailar area came under the jurisdiction of Lingbei Province and Linlu, and the Hulunbuir area was granted to Genghis Khan's younger brother Hesar.

In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1405), the Haici'er Qianhu Station was set up in the Hailar River Basin, which belonged to the Onan River Guards of Nu'ergandu. With Kai La'er's shoes bare and bald, thousands of households in Kai La'er are still a Mongolian nomadic land.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the nomadic tribes in Hulunbuir returned to the Qing Dynasty successively from Tiancong to Chongde years. The Qing Dynasty took control of the entire territory of Hulunbuir and was directly under the purification of the vassal academy. In the 22nd year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1683), this place was under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang general.

In the late Qing Dynasty, people thought that Hulunbuir City was located near the Hailar River, so it was also called Hailar City. The original Hulunbuir City was called "the city" or "old street" and was under the jurisdiction of Hulunbuir Deputy Capital. The housing market gradually formed from both sides of the railway to the east-west junction street is called "Hailaer", which is under the jurisdiction of the Dongqing Railway Negotiation Branch.

In the fourth year of the Republic of China (1915), Hulunbuir was designated as a "special area" and was directly controlled by the central government of the Republic of China.

On April 11, the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949), the Hulunbuir League and the Naven Muren League merged to form the "Hulunbuir Naven Muren League", which governed Hailar City.
