History
Historically Tyarsh was part of the Fyappin society.

Medieval Era
A large tower village of the castle type, Tyarsh was located on the spur of Mount Mat-Lam. The village was fortified with 3 combat, 3 semi-combat, and 8 residential towers, as well as stone defensive walls from the late Middle Ages. These towers were part of independent, but closely interconnected powerful castle complexes.

The Tyarsh village was known to be the origin of several prominent Ingush families, including the Tarshkhoevs, Daskievs, Daskhoevs, Marzabekovs, Polievs, Soslanovs, and Gudantovs.
