After the deportation of the Chechen population from the area in 1944, Dargins from the neighboring Dagestani ASSR were settled there, and the village was given the Dargin name of Sulevkent. As part of the return of the Chechens in 1957, the old place name was restored and the Dargins were relocated to a new village called Sulewkent , just under 30 km northeast of Chassavyurt in Dagestan .
