The village of Surkhakhi was founded in 1836\. / p. 9 According to one of the official versions, on the territory, including the village of Surkhakhi, there was the ancient city of [Magas](/wiki/Maghas "Maghas") — the capital of the medieval polyethnic state of [Alania](/wiki/Alania "Alania"), which also included the territory of modern [Ingushetia](/wiki/Ingushetia "Ingushetia"). In this version, we are talking about the complex of ancient settlements "Yandare \- Gazi\-Yurt \- Ekazhevo \- Ali\-Yurt \- Surkhakhi", which are a single fortified area of early medieval fortresses and many settlements between them. More than 30 settlements, numerous settlements, connecting them with defensive ditches and funerary monuments of the Alanian period were recorded in this area.Исторический проект «Ингушетия:Исторические Параллели».  *Ghalghay.com*

Mandre defended Surkhakhi for 9 days, coming out victorious as the Ingush militants came for help and liberated the village.Багаудин Зязиков. Девять дней из жизни героя. The villagers also attacked and disarmed a White Guard echelon in [Nazran](/wiki/Nazran "Nazran"). To suppress the uprising, the command of the [volunteer army](/wiki/Volunteer_Army "Volunteer Army") was forced to withdraw 15 thousand bayonets from the front.
