History
Zalantun was formerly known as Butha (Chinese: 布特哈; pinyin: Bùtèhā) (Manchu: ᠪᡠᡨᡥᠠᡳ; Buthai), and the city was made into an administrative centre in the Kangxi era. In 1929, Buteha was renamed as Yalu county (雅鲁县; Yǎlǔ Xiàn) because the Yalu River runs through it, but in 1933 it became the Zalantun Banner (扎兰屯旗; Zhālántún Qí). In 1983, Zalantun ceased to be a banner and became a part of Hulunbuir, remaining so today.
