[edit] History
The predecessor of today's Heihe was the town established in 1683 some 30 km south of the modern city site[1] (in today's Aihui District) and was known as Aigun, Heilongjiang, or Saghalien Ula. (The two last names both mean "the Black River" - the name for the Amur River in Chinese and Manchu, respectively). From 1683 to 1690 Aigun was the capital (the seat of the Military Governor) of Heilongjiang Province.--from wikipedia.org
