History

Until 1845, the village was the residence of Imam Shamil, but after desperate resistance, it was taken by the Russian army, under the command of Count Vorontsov. Imam Shamil then fled the village.

In the fall of 1919, the North Caucasian Emirate was created, which existed until March, 1920. During this time, emirate coins were minted in Dargo.

In 1944, after the genocide and deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the village of Dargo was renamed to Tsiyabroso, and settled by Avars from the neighboring republic of Dagestan.[3] From 1944 to 1957, it was a part of the Vedensky District of the Dagestan ASSR.

In 1958, after the Vaynakh people returned and the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was restored, the village regained its old Chechen name, Darga.[4]
