Luntai has a long history associated with China. When the city refused aid to Li Guangli's Fergana campaign (c. 101 BC), the inhabitants were slaughtered. Around 80 BC, a Han military colony was established on the site.[6]
As of 1885, there was about 25,100 acres (165,700 mu) of cultivated land in Bugur.[7]
