It has 12,286 families and a population of 46,918, and is considered a major city such as Ulaanbaatar, Darhan, Erdenet and Choibalsan.

Although a poorly developed town, Mörön has a hospital, a museum, a theatre, a post office, nine schools and fifteen kindergartens.

[1] The settlement stems from the Möröngiin Khuree monastery, which had been founded in 1809/11 on the banks of the Delgermörön river.

Mörön experienced a continental semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk, Trewartha BSbc) with a humid continental temperature regime (Dwb) (formerly subarctic (Dwc) based upon the 1991 to 2020 reference period resulting in long, very dry, frigid winters and short, warm summers.

As a result of the collection of antique books and geological samples, the first building foundations were laid to explore the local area.

In 1967, it eventually became the Museum of Khövsgöl Province to research the local area and grew the collection to include approximately 1000 exhibits and artifacts.

For instance, 108 tomes of Ganjuur (also known as Kanjur) scripture, mammoth tusks, a meteor that weighs about 52.5 kilograms, as well as a flint gun and sword of Chingunjav who was the Khalkha prince ruler of the Khotogoid among other historical and ethnographic artifacts.
