History

The Tünel sum was founded in 1952 from parts of the Büren, Tosontsengel, Erdenebulgan, and Alag-Erdene sums. In 1956, it became part of Bürentogtokh sum, but was separated again in 1959. In 1938, a "Khar Usny Jingiin" negdel was founded in this area, some other small negdels named "Altan Taria", "Khödölmör", "Egiin Dolgio" etc. followed and were joined to form the "Yalalt" negdel in 1956.
