History
The area preserves the ruins of a fortress destroyed by Tamerlane during the Tokhtamysh–Timur war.
The early history Endirey is uncertain. During the Safavid period (1501–1736), the small Kumyk's kingdom of Endirey formed somewhat of a "buffer state" towards the north. Feodor I dispatched Prince Grigori Zasekin against the local shamkhal in 1591. His force of 5000 Russian musketeers and 10,000 Cherkesses captured and razed Andreyevo the next year, wounding the shamkhal. Relations with the nearby Circassians were, however, generally friendly prior to the Cossacks' submission to Peter the Great in 1712, after which raiding and invasions became more common. In a belated response to the 1707 burning of the Russian fort at Tarki, Peter the Great dispatched a unit of cavalry to occupy Endirey in 1722 as part of his Persian campaign. The force suffered a serious repulse and the area was left alone for several decades.
Endirey had a large slave trade to the Ottoman Empire and became the principal city of the Kumyks.
