Gorsky Uchastok

Gorsky Uchastok was a territorial-administrative unit (uchastok) of the Ingushskiy Okrug of the Terek Oblast of the Russian Empire. The area of the Gorsky Uchastok made up Dzheyrakhsky and part of the Sunzhensky Districts of Ingushetia.

History
After the end of the Caucasian War, the military administration of the Caucasus was eliminated and in 1860, the entire territory of the North Caucasus was divided into the Stavropol Governate, Kuban, Terek and Dagestan oblasts. The Terek Oblast consisted of 8 districts (okrugs), one of which was Ingushskiy Okrug.

The Gorsky Uchastok was created and it was one of the four uchastoks making up the Ingushskiy Okrug. In 1866, the territory of the Meredzhi and Akkin societies was separated from the Gorskiy Uchastok of the Ingushskiy Okrug and subordinated to the administration of the Argunskiy Okrug.
