History

The village was first founded in 1851 or 1853, according to different sources, with the name of Zakan-Yurtovskaya (from 1913-1924 - called Romanovskaya) as a part of the Sunzhensky Cossack line.[3] Later, on Order number 01721, the entire Cossack population of the village was evicted.[4] The empty village was then handed to Chechen control. It was populated by Chechens and renamed to Zakan-Yurt at this time.

In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Zakan-Yurt was renamed to Prigorodnoye, and settled by people from other ethnic groups.[5] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Novoselsky District of Grozny Oblast.

In 1958, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old name, Zaki-Evla.[6]

On 1 January 2020, the territory of the Samashki Forestry was transferred from Samashki to Zakan-Yurt, and became known as Zakan-Yurt Forestry.
