History
Khorinsk was formed by the merger of two villages: Duma and Bazar. Duma was the center of Khorin steppe Duma. In the village bazaar lived Yasak peasants and they held trade fairs. After the abolition of the Steppe Duma, the village became known as Nikolskoye. In 1917, Nikolskoye was renamed Dodo-Anninskoe. In 1926, the village was named Khorinsk.
