Historical evolution

Arctic town was once known as Arctic Township and Mohe township. The name comes from the name of Mohe village. Mohe, also known as "Mohe", originates from the northern foot of the Great Xing'an Mountains and flows northward into Heilongjiang. Because the river is as black as ink, it is called Mohe. The village was named after the river when it was built. It is commonly known as "Arctic village". in Ming Dynasty, muhewei was set up here, which was under the jurisdiction of nurgandu. in the early Qing Dynasty, after Heilongjiang was established, it was under the jurisdiction of the vice capital of Heilongjiang. It was inhabited in 1860 (the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty). It is a post station leading to Laogou gold mine. In 1888 (the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty), the Qing government established Mohe Gold Mine General Administration here. In the late Qing Dynasty, Mohe zongka yamen was set up in December 1909 (November of the first year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty), which belongs to the territory of Heihe Prefecture and belongs to bingbei road of Huihui. After the founding of the Republic of China, in July 1914, Mohe general card yamen was changed into Mohe Administrative Bureau, thus it was called governing the city. In January 1917, Mohe "changed the Bureau into a county" and became the county seat of Mohe. After the fall of Northeast China, mohebao was set up and changed to Mohe street in 1941. After the victory of the Anti Japanese war in 1945, Mohe County was abolished in March 1947 and Mohe district was established under the jurisdiction of huma county. in 1950, it was changed into the Fifth District. In 1956, Mohe township was set up. In September 1958, it was renamed Mohe people's commune. In August 1981, it was under the jurisdiction of Mohe County. In early 1984, it was changed to Mohe township. On September 30, 2005, the reply of Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Civil Affairs on the request for renaming Mohe Township, Mohe County, under the jurisdiction of Daxinganling Administrative Office (No. 113 of Heimin District): it is agreed that Mohe Township under the jurisdiction of Mohe County should be renamed as Beiji Township, and the township government is still stationed in Beiji village. on January 4, 2011, the reply of Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Civil Affairs on the withdrawal of Beiji Township and the establishment of Beiji town in Mohe County (No. 5 of Heimin District): agreed to cancel Beiji Township and establish Beiji town in Mohe County. Taking the administrative region of the former Arctic township as the administrative region of the new Arctic town, the subordinate relationship remains unchanged, and the people's Government of the Arctic town is still stationed in the Arctic village.
