History

[eedit | eedit soorce]

The aurie nou kent as Baotou wis inhabitit syne auncient times bi nomads, maist notably the Mongols. Near the end o the Han Dynasty, Lü Bu, a particularly noteworthy warrior, wis born here. Compared tae the caipital, Hohhot, Baotou's construction as a ceety came relatively late, bein incorporatit as a toun in 1809. The ceety's steid wis chosen acause it wis in an arable region o the Yellae River's Great Bend.

A railway frae Beijing wis constructit in 1931, an the ceety began spurrin some industrial steids. A German-Cheenese jynt-venture in 1934 constructit the Baotou Airport an opened a weekly route connectin Baotou wi Ningxia an Lanzhou.

When young Owen Lattimore visitit Baotou in 1925, it wis still "a little husk o a toun in a great hollow shell o mud ramparts, whaur twa busy streets made a traders' quarter", but already an important railhead. Qinghai an Gansu wuil an hides wur brocht doun the Huanghe bi raft an boat frae Lanzhou tae Baotou, an shipped frae Baotou bi rail tae the east (in particular, tae Tianjin for export). The river traffic wis ane-way anly, however, as the fast current made sailin up the Huanghe impractical. Tae travel frae Baotou back tae Lanzhou or Yinchuan, ane would uise a cart an camel road. Thare wur an aa caravan roads frae Baotou tae Ordos an the Alxa League.[2]

On September 19, 1949, efter the September 19 Rebellion, Baotou fell unner Communist control. The Fowk's Govrenment wis fairmed in Februar 1950. In the early Communist years Baotou served as an industrial centre, wi a signeeficant portion o its economy comin frae its steel production, an it continues this reputation till this day.
