The name Horgos began in the Yuan Dynasty and means "the place where the camels pass through" or "the place where wealth is accumulated". Horgos port is a "six in one" transportation hub and comprehensive multi-functional port integrating highway, railway, pipeline, aviation, optical cable and mail, with its advantages.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to start the legendary "trip to the sky" and opened up the ancient Silk Road that traversed the east and west. Horgos was one of its important post stations.

Riding on the east wind of the "Belt and Road", along the "Hollow Road", the "Steel Camel Team" writes a new Silk Road legend:On March 19, 2016, the first China-Europe train was opened at Horgos Port.
