history
Kurchaloi came from an old Chechen village. The etymology of the place name is unclear; Possibly it can be traced back to the Avar kurusch for money , wealth , which was transferred to the name of a Chechen family group ("Teip") living in this area . Originally it was also called Kurtschaloi- Aul , the year it was founded is assumed to be 1860. During the uprising of the Caucasus peoples against the Russian occupation from 1877, Kurchaloi was temporarily taken by the insurgents in April 1877.
During the Soviet period, on January 23, 1935, the place became the administrative center of the newly founded Rajon of the same name, which was dissolved on February 23, 1944 in connection with the deportation of the Chechens and the liquidation of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR . The place itself was renamed after Valeri Tschkalow in Tschkalowo .
After the restoration of Chechen autonomy, the place was renamed and the Rajon was restored in January 1957. But it only existed until 1962 when it was absorbed in the Schalinski rajon . The Rajon with its administrative center in Kurtschaloi was re-established on August 1, 1995 within its current borders.
With effect from January 9, 2019, the city charter was granted at the end of 2018.
