The village was founded in 1670 by the Kabardian warks (nobles) of the Kogolkins, in whose honor the village was named Kuguluykuya (Kogolkino). The Kogolkins owned land between the rivers Urukh (from the west) and the Terek (from the east), and were part of the specific principality of Kabarda - Talostanovo. Also, the Kogolkins are repeatedly found at Nogmov in his book “The History of the Adychian People”.

Over its history, the village has repeatedly changed its location due to various military and social reasons ^[3] . The settlement moved several times within the triangle, the bases of which were the Urukh and Terek rivers from the west and east, and the Rocky Mountains in the south. Initially, the Kogolkin aul was located on the left bank of the Terek River, from where it moved to the Tauuashkhe tract, located 25 km north-east of the village’s modern location. Then they moved to Mount Tatartup in the tract " Mertezey dygyapӏezh ". But due to the inconsistency of the terrain with its conditions, the population of the village moved to the Fendgyef tract, which is located 5 km southeast of the modern location of the village.

In 1769, the aul moved to the right bank of the Urukh river, where it finally settled and remains to this day.

In 1825, a census of the settlements of Kabarda was made. According to her, on the right bank of the Urukh river there was a village of Kogolkino, which was owned by the workman Alimurza Kogolkin. In 1846, on the banks of the Urukh River, there were already two Kogolkin villages, which were subsequently united as a result of the Land Reform of Kabarda in 1865 .

In 1864 - 1869 , many residents of the aul began to leave their lands as a result of muhajirism caused by the final accession of the Caucasus to the Russian Empire and the reluctance to recognize the authority of an infidel king.

In 1908, the village of Kogolkino consisted of 122 yards with a population of 2104 people.

In 1920, with the final establishment of Soviet power in Kabarda , by decision of the Revolutionary Committee of the Nalchik District, Kogolkino, like other Kabardian villages, was renamed due to the presence of princely and noble families in their names. As a result, the village received its new name Urukh (from the river of the same name on the banks of which the village is located).

The village village council was founded in 1920 . Until 1937, the village council was part of the Urvan district of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Then it is included in the newly formed Leskensky district .

During World War II, the village was occupied by German troops for more than a month. After their exile in early January 1943 , the restoration of the village began. Monuments were erected in memory of the victims in the village.

In 1962, with the liquidation of the Leskensky district, the village with the village council was transferred back to the Urvan district .

In 2003, the village was included in the newly formed Lesken district , which was isolated from part of the Urvan region .
