Geography
Located on the high terraces of the left bank of the Gizeldon River in the Koban Gorge [2] . Initially, it consisted of two settlements - Upper and Lower Koban , which today are connected in one village [3] .
Title
According to A. D. Tsagaeva, the name of the village goes back to the ethnonym of the Kuman tribe or to the name of the Kuban river [4] . Also, in addition to the name Koban, the name "Koban" was used and is occasionally used now.
History
Koban was once a large Tagaur aul. Once, during Muhajirism, a large number of Ossetians migrated from Koban to the faithful Turkey.
Active construction in the vicinity of the village falls on the Soviet period. In July 1927, construction of a highway and gravel road from Vladikavkaz to Koban began. In 1927, 1.8 km south of the village of Koban, according to the GOELRO plan , the construction of the Gizeldon hydroelectric station was started, in 1934 the last of its hydroelectric units was commissioned.
During the Great Patriotic War in 1942 , the front line came quite close to the village, German aircraft raided the Gizeldon hydroelectric station. When the battles with German troops were in the immediate vicinity of the hydroelectric station, the main structures of the station were prepared for the explosion. They managed to defend an important hydraulic engineering facility near the village of Koban, and after the defeat at Stalingrad , in 1943, German troops left the North Caucasus [5] .
