History
The name of the Chechen teip "Kurchaloy" laid the basis for the name of the city of Kurchaloy.
The ancient village of Kurchal is located in the mountains of the Vedeno region, founded in the 13th century.
Also, the village of Kurchaloy was located on the Gekhi River, which flows into the Sunzha, just north of the village of Alkhan-Yurt. The old village of Kurchaloy was destroyed during the Caucasian War, on 12 April 1826.
According to A. P. Berger for 1850, Kurchaloy is a large settlement.
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Kurchaloy was renamed to Chkalovo, after Valery Chkalov, and settled by people from other ethnic groups. From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Grozny Oblast.
In 1957, when the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Kurchaloy.
