history

In the place of today's city, the Stanitsa Karabulakskaya of the Terek Cossacks was built in the 19th century .

In 1995 the place was granted city rights after its population had risen sharply following the separation of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Republic into the independent republics of Chechnya and Ingushetia in 1991 and the First Chechen War due to resettlers and refugees.

In June 2004, the city was one of the targets of Chechen and Ingush rebels during the Second Chechen War .
