History
The Sunzhensky department was formed in 1888 by the disaggregation of the Vladikavkaz district of the Terek region and the formation of the Sunzhensky department and the Ossetian district on its territory.
Subsequently, over the course of several years, the Sunzhensky department included the Malabardin lands of the Kurp Highlands and the pristine plains inhabited by Cossacks.
The distinguishing feature of the Sunzhensky department was mainly military administration: executive power was exercised by bailiffs directly from Vladikavkaz, also in Ingush villages, power was exercised through the Ingush police, and in the Cossack villages, by the Terek Cossack army.
In 1905, temporarily, and since 1909 officially - the Sunzhensky department ceased to exist. Instead, two districts were formed - Nazranovsky and Sunzhensky .
