Awat County[4][5][6] (Uyghur:ئاۋات ناھىيىسى) is a county inAksu Prefecture,Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,China. Awat County is located on the southern foot of theTian Shan mountain range and on the northern edge of theTaklamakan Desert.[2][7]
The term "Awat" translates from Uyghur to signify "prosperity".[8] The region surrounding Awat County was formerly known as "Dolang," the ancestral home of the "Dolang people," an old Uyghur tribe. Subsequently, a significant influx of peasants settled in the region, resulting in a population surge, an expansion of cultivated land, and a daily transformation of the landscape, prompting the renaming to Awat.[9]
During theHan dynasty, it was part ofGumo. During theTang dynasty, it was part of Gumo Prefecture.[10][11] In 1883,Aksu Dao [zh] was established, with Awat falling under its control. In 1913, the area was part of the three, four, and five districts of Aksu County; in 1922, Awat County was established. Awat County was established in 1930,[12] initially part of Aksu Dao, and subsequently became part of the Aksu District Administrator's Office in 1933. In 1943, it pertains to the Aksu Administrative Inspector General's Office.[13] The People's Government of the County of Awat was officially created in 1950.[14] Subsequently, it has been governed by the Aksu Commissioner's Office and theAksu Regional Administrative Office.[15]
On January 23, 2013, thePeople's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xin Zheng Xin [2013] No. 17) sanctioned the transfer of 474.208 square kilometers of Awat County toAral City's administration.[16]
