[edit] History

The aimag was created during the administrative reorganisation of 1941 with the name of Choibalsan, after the communist leader Khorloogiin Choibalsan. The capital, which previously had been called Bayan Tümen, also received the name Choibalsan. In 1963, the aimag was given the current name Dornod.

[edit] Transportation

The Choibalsan Airport (COQ/ZMCD) has one paved runway, and is served by regular flights to Ulan Bator.
