Uvs Province: History
After the Mongolian Revolution of 1921, the government founded the Jewel Mountain Province (Mongolian: Чандмань уулын аймаг, romanized: Chandmani uuliin aimag, pronounced [ˈt͡ɕʰantmæɲ ˈʊːɮiŋ ˈæˑməq]). This province included the whole western part of the country. In 1931 it was split into the Khovd and Dörvöd aimags—the latter which was renamed Uvs aimag in 1933.
