In 1812, Khiv came to the Kjuri Khanate, which was protected by the Russian Empire , with the capital in Kurach, a good 20 km south . After the khanate was officially annexed to the Russian Empire at the end of the Caucasus War in 1864, the village belonged to the Kjurinski Okrug (located in Kassumkent 20 km southeast) of the Dagestan Oblast formed in 1861 .

Belonging to the Dagestani ASSR since 1921 , Chiw became the seat of a newly spun off Rajon in 1935.
