清朝统一新疆后,为巩固统一、加强西北边防、保持社会稳定,从东北、热河、陕西、甘肃等地调拨满洲八旗等官兵驻防新疆,遂形成满城,主要分布在北疆的伊犁、乌鲁木齐、古城和巴里坤等地。自乾隆二十三年至四十八年(1758-1783)修建了大小城堡近四十座,新疆满城的建立,对巩固新疆的统一局面,加强清中央政权对新疆的统治,保持新疆社会的稳定,增强西北边疆的防务力量,都具有重要意义。

After Xinjiang was. re-unified, the Qing Dynasty Government dispatched from inland provinces Manchurian soldiers to station in Xinjiang, mainly in Ili, Urumqi, Balikun, and so on, altogether 40-odd Manchu cities. The establishment of these cities helped to consolidate the unification in Xinjiang, to govern over Xinjiang, to maintain social stability in Xinjiang, and strengthen frontier defense in west China.
