Nazran district

The Nazran District was established in 1924 as part of the Ingush Autonomous Region. Being part of the North Ossetian ASSR in 1944-1957, it had another name - Kosta-Khetagur. And after the collapse of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR in 1991-1992, it became part of Ingushetia. It received municipal status only in 2009. It is now divided into two parts due to the configuration of the territory.
