1884 CE

Qing China renames the conquered region of Kashgaria, establishing Xinjiang ("new frontier") as a province in 1884 and formally applying onto it the political system of China proper.

For the first time, the name "Xinjiang" replaces old historical names such as "Western Regions", "Chinese Turkestan", "Eastern Turkestan", "Uyghuristan", "Kashgaria", "Uyghuria", "Alter Sheher" and "Yetti Sheher".
