Mozdok, Administrative center in North Ossetia-Alania, Russia.
Located on the left shore of the Terek River at 131 meters elevation, Mozdok extends across the northern region of the North Caucasus territory.
The Russian army established the settlement in 1763 during Catherine II's reign, transforming a Circassian village into a military fort through territorial expansion.
The Museum of Regional Studies preserves artifacts and exhibits that document the settlement patterns of Russians, Ossetians, Armenians, Kumyks, Chechens, and Kabardians in the region.
The town maintains road and rail connections to major cities in the North Caucasus region, with regular bus services operating throughout the district.
The name Mozdok derives from Kabardian words meaning dense forest, reflecting the natural environment that characterized the area before urban development.
