history
The village was founded in 1851 as a Cossack stanitsa and was initially located after the other Sunschaufer Chechen Aul Alkhan-Yurt as Alchanjurtowskaja referred. A little later the name was changed to Yermolovskaya, after the Russian general Alexei Yermolow (1777–1861), who was temporarily commander in chief in the Caucasus War from 1817 to 1864 . After 1917, the place officially received its current Chechen-Russified name (with kala from Chechen г ала for city, in contrast to Alkhan-Yurt with yurt for village ). The old name, mostly in the form Yermolowka, was unofficially in use for a long time, especially among the Russian residents.
During the period of deportation of the Chechen population from 1944 to 1957, the village was called Mezhdugorje in Russian .
