## History

The village of Yarysh-Mardy was founded in 1870.

In 1944, after the deportation of the Chechens and Ingush and the abolition of the Checheno-Ingush ASSR, the village of Yarysh-Mardy was renamed to Alabaster and settled by people from neighbouring Dagestan.

In 1977, the village was renamed back to Yarysh-Mardy.

During the first Chechen war in April 1996, the infamous Shatoy ambush took place when Chechen fighters, led by Khattab, ambushed and wrecked a Russian army column.

On January 1, 2020, the village was transferred from the Groznensky District to the Shatoysky District.
