It is located a good 10 km from the border with the Chechen Republic , mainly on the left bank of the Andijskoje Koisu River .

Agwali is the administrative center of the Rajons Zumadinski and seat and only town in the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Selo Agwali. The place is almost exclusively inhabited by Avars , or members of the sub-ethnic group of the Tschamalals, who used to speak Tschamalali - one of the Andean languages that is almost extinct today due to the spread of Avar.

history

The old village, whose name is derived from the Avar name for hawthorn , belonged to the Andean Okrug ( Andijski okrug , located 15 km north of Botlich ) after the area was annexed to the Russian Empire and the Dagestan Oblast was formed in 1861 . In the 1921 founded Dagestani ASSR it was initially within the Okrug seat of the section (uchastok) Mindol-Tschamaja. On March 28, 1926, a short-term Rajon was formed; then again in 1932 under the current name, derived from the name of the initial administrative seat in the village of Zumada-Uruch, just under 10 km southwest (upstream on Andijskoje Koisu) . Since 1936 the administrative headquarters have been in Agwali again.
