The Chen Barag Banner is named after the Barga Mongols, who inhabited the area prior its official organization.[2]
The area of the present-day Chen Barag Banner was organized by the Qing Dynasty in 1732.[2]
The current iteration of the Chen Barag Banner was organized in 1919, but has undergone numerous administrative and boundary changes since then.[2]
