The Mongolic peoples were for many centuries a nomadic confederation, organized in clans and dwelling in portable ger (yurt) camps. Ulaanbaatar was established in 1639 as Orgoo (Urga), a moveable yurt city and seat of the first Jebtsundamba Khutughtu, the spiritual leader (Lama) of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia. The mobile monastery-town was often moved to various places until 1778 when the city moved from Khui Mandal to its current location.

Today Ulaanbaatar is Mongolia's primate city, the cultural, economical, and industrial center of the nation. About 1.4 million people live in the city, more than one-third of Mongolia's population. Spoken language is Mongolian.
