With a population of around 50,000 in 1910, Chartres was the largest city in the Talasides and later Nankou (when it was named Zhugang), However, the town was overtaken by Huanzhou in 1950. Zhugang then experianced economic stagnation, and the population decreased as people moved to other cities. But starting in the 1980s, Zhugang's population increased. In 2008, the town and county of Zhugang amalgamated to create Zhugang city.
