Prigorodny District

Prigorodny District is a municipal area in the eastern part of North Ossetia-Alania with Oktyabrskoye serving as its administrative center. The region comprises rural settlements and villages scattered across a large territory in the Caucasus.

The territory became part of the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1944 and was restructured into its current form in 1993. This reorganization significantly shaped how local communities are governed and organized today.

The area is shaped by Ossetian and Ingush communities, each maintaining distinct traditions and ways of living. Walking through the villages, you notice this cultural diversity reflected in the architecture, food, and daily customs of local residents.

The district is distributed across multiple village settlements connected by local roads. Visitors should expect longer travel times between settlements and be prepared for rural infrastructure.

The name of the Ingush people traces its origin to the village of Angusht in the Tarskoye Valley, where this community has ancient roots. This historical link between a specific place and ethnic identity remains woven into the region's story.
