History
In 1934, the selo of Voznesenskoye was granted work settlement status.[citation needed] It served then recently discovered oilfields, on the territory of former Ingush villages of Malgobek-Balka (Малгобек-Балка). Town status was granted to it in 1939.[2]
During World War II, Malgobek was occupied by the German forces from Saturday, September 12, 1942 to January 3, 1943, when it was recaptured by the Red Army. In October 2007, Malgobek was conferred the status of City of Military Glory by President Vladimir Putin for heroically stopping the German forces at its borders.[9]
In the 1990s, the town's population doubled due to an influx of refugees from the neighboring war-torn Chechen Republic.
