History
Davydenkov Farm was founded in 1880 by immigrants from Ukraine, who purchased the land.[4] However, there is evidence that Davydenko was actually founded in 1886. As of January 1, 1883, among the Cossack settlements of the 5th section of the Grozny District, it was absent from the list of settlements of the Terek Oblast.[5] According to data from the end of 1889, a location called Davydenkova farm was present on the list, as a part of the Samashki rural settlement.
By mid 1914, Davydenkova farm had about 200 acres of land (22 of them covered with forest). In 31 households, 179 people lived (96 men and 83 women).
According to the list of populated places of the North Caucasus in 1925, Davydenko had 366 residents (174 men and 192 women), as well as a pond and an elementary school, among other things.[6]
In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Davydenko was renamed and settled by people from other ethnic groups.[7] 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, Davydenko.[8]
