History

In 1819, on the site of the modern village, a fortification was built, and in 1846, in honor of the Christian holiday of the Archangel Michael, the Mikhailovsky Church was built. The village was then given the name Mikhailovsky.[6]

In 1920, after the suppression of the anti-Soviet uprising, the entire Cossack population of the village was deported. The deportation was taken in three stages - the first group were sent to Pavlodolskaya on 13 November, the second group were sent to Soldatskaya on 29 November, and the third and final group were sent to Sovetskaya on 3 December. That day, the empty village was handed over to Chechen control.[7] Soon after, it was settled by Chechens and renamed to Aslambek.

From 8 March 1926 to 11 February 1929, it was the administrative center of Novo-Chechensky District, Chechen Autonomous Oblast.

In 1944, after the deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people, the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, and the village of Aslambek was renamed to Sernovodskoye.[8]

Since the 1970s, the village has also been known as Sernovodsk.

Since 2003, the village has been the administrative center of Sunzhensky District, Chechnya.
