Established in 1862 as a military district of the Terek Oblast, it existed for approximately 9 years. In 1865 the Karabulakskiy Uchastok was abolished due to the resettlement of the majority of its population (Karabulaks). In 1867, two societies, Merzhoy and Akkins, were ceded to the neighboring Argunskiy Okrug. Finally, in 1871, Ingushskiy Okrug was combined with the Ossetinskiy okrug into a new district, Vladikavkazsky okrug.
Geography
editIt was located in the central part of the North Caucasus in the basin of the Terek, Sunzha, Assa and Fortanga rivers, covering the territory of modern Ingushetia, parts of the Mozdok and Prigorodny regions of North Ossetia, Sernovodsky and parts of the Achkhoy-Martanovsky regions of the Chechen Republic.[1]
It bordered in the west with the Ossetinskiy Okrug, in the northwest with the Kabardinskiy Okrug, in the north with the Stavropol Governorate, in the east with the Chechenskiy Okrug, in the southeast with the Argunskiy Okrug, in the south along the Caucasus Range with the Tiflis Governorate.

Background
editUp until the 1860s, the mountaineers in the North Caucasus were subordinated to the military authorities of the Left (North-Eastern Caucasus) and Right (North-Western Caucasus) flanks of the Caucasian Line. Only in the Stavropol Governorate was there a civil administration.[2]
Establishment
editIn 1862, Terek Oblast was divided into three districts (otdel), that is, Western, Middle and Eastern. To the former belonged the newly created Ingushskiy Okrug[3][4] (also referred as the Voenno-Ingushskiy Okrug).[5]
The administrative center of the Ingushskiy Okrug, together with the Ossetian Okrug, was Vladikavkaz. The Okrug consisted of three uchastoks: Nazranovskiy, Psedakhskiy, Gorsky and Karabulakskiy.[6][1] Significant lands of the plain of Ingushetia in 1864-1865, after the construction of Cossack villages on them, were directly subordinated to the Terek Cossack Host. In 1866, the territory of the Meredzhin and Akkin societies was separated from the Gorskiy Uchastok of the Ingushskiy Okrug and subordinated to the administration of the Argunskiy Okrug.[7][8][b]
In 1865, after the resettlement of Karabulaks to Turkey, Karabulakskiy Uchastok was abolished and its lands were ceded to nearby Cossack stanitsas.[10]
On February 2, 1870, a project was approved to establish an agricultural farm and school in the Ingush district.[11]
In 1871, the Ingushskiy Okrug was disestablished when, together with the Cossack villages on the Sunzha, it was merged with the Ossetinskiy Okrug into one Vladikavkazsky Okrug.[12]
Administrative divisions
editIn administrative terms, initially in 1862 Ingushkiy Okrug was divided into 4 subcounties (uchastoks) and the lands of the villages on the Sunzha subordinate to the Terek Cossack army. However, in 1865 the number of sites was reduced to three. The subcounties of the Ingushskiy okrug were as follows:
| Name | 1868 population[13] |
