history

Views of Gudermes

The place name comes from an alternative name for the Güms river. It is possible that Gudermes was taken from the Turkic languages and means something like "incombustible place". The first mention of the village under this name comes from documents from the 19th century.

On January 14, 1929, a "workers' settlement" was recognized in this village, which was elevated to a town on April 5, 1941. The rural community, which had been the seat of a Rajon administration since 1930 , had become a railway junction on the routes to Rostov-on-Don , Baku , Astrakhan and Mozdok as a result of the industrialization of the Soviet Union . Today Gudermes is also the administrative center of the Rajon of the same name. An important branch of industry in Gudermes is oil production .
