Khasavyurtovsky District

Khasavyurtovsky District is an administrative region in western Dagestan covering roughly 1,400 square kilometers (540 square miles) with thirteen administrative divisions. The area contains around sixty rural settlements with a population of approximately 140,000 residents.

The district was established in 1929 and experienced major population shifts in 1944 when various ethnic groups were resettled in the area. These demographic changes have remained a defining feature of the region.

The population includes Avars, Kumyks, and Chechens as major groups, each contributing to the local way of life and community traditions. Their presence shapes the character of villages and daily interactions throughout the area.

The city of Khasavyurt functions as the administrative center for the district but operates as a separate municipal entity with its own governance. Visitors should note that administrative services and local governance are divided between the city and surrounding district.

The area combines traditional farming methods with modern cultivation techniques across its agricultural lands. Local farmers blend time-tested practices with contemporary approaches to land management and crop production.
