History
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Engel-Yurt was renamed, and was settled by people from the neighbouring republic of Dagestan. From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Dagestan ASSR.
In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Engel-Yurt.
