history

Ten kilometers west of the village, on an island in Lake Tere-Chol, is the ruins of Por-Baschyn , the remains of an unexplained use of the Uyghur kaganat in the 8th century.

On January 25, 1936, the Tere-Cholski koschuun of the Tuvinian People's Republic was formed with its seat in the village of Tschirgalandy , 25 km to the west . After the annexation of the republic to the Soviet Union in 1944, the Koschuun continued to exist as a Rajon, and its administrative seat was previously called Chün-Chürtü (Tuvinian Хүн-Хүртү for "sun rays", as in the name of the music group Huun-Huur-Tu ) location relocated, which was then referred to as Kungurtuk or Kungur-Tuk . This year is considered the year the village was founded; the resettlement of large parts of the village of Tschirgalandy dragged on until 1953. On February 25, 1953, however, the Rajon was dissolved and its territory was annexed to the Kaa-Chemski rajon, neighboring to the north, with headquarters in Saryg-Sep , 170 km to the north-west , from 1961 to the republic capital Kyzyl and finally, when it was founded on February 11, 1975, to the Kyzylsky rajon assumed, although the territories are not directly adjacent to one another. On May 23, 2002, the Tere-Cholski koschuun was spun off again as an independent, with the administrative seat in the village of Kungurtug in the current name.
