history

The place was founded in 1846 during the Caucasus War as a Russian military settlement under the name Deschlagar , named after a nearby location, derived from the Dargin name of the woolly snowball growing there . On November 22, 1928, as part of the administrative restructuring of the Dagestani ASSR , the village was initially the seat of a canton and at the same time renamed Korkmaskala (alternative spelling Korkmas-Kala ), after the Kumyk publicist, politician and at that time head of government (chairman of the council of people's commissars ) Dagestan's Jelal-ed-Din Korkmassow (1877-1937); by order of July 3, 1929, the canton was converted into a Rajon. On September 10, 1937, Ort and Rajon were given their current names after the first name of the revolutionary and politician Sergo Ordzhonikidze ( Sergokala means something like Sergo City ), who died in the same year , while the previous namesake Korkmassow fell victim to the Stalinist repression .
