History
It was founded in 1846 and granted town status in 1931.[citation needed] During the Russian Empire, the settlement was the administrative capital of the Khasavyurtovsky Okrug of the Terek Oblast.
In 1996, the agreement was signed in Khasavyurt between Russian Federation and Chechen Republic of Ichkeria following the First Chechen War, known as Khasavyurt Accord.
On August 19, 2012, six police officers were killed and eight people injured at two gun and bomb attacks in the city.[12] The town has thousands of Salafis.[13] In December 2016, the Russian authorities reported the existence of the Khasavyurt Group, allegedly linked to the Islamic State and a flareup of incidents and skirmishes between the police and local militants in and around the city.[14]

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Khasavyurt serves as the administrative center of Khasavyurtovsky District, even though it is not a part of it.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the City of Khasavyurt—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the City of Khasavyurt is incorporated as Khasavyurt Urban Okrug.[5]

Zagit-Salim Dadayev (United Russia) was re-elected as chairman of the 6th convocation.
The 5th convocation was elected on 8 September 2013. From among the deputies, the current head, Saygidpasha Umakhanov, was re-elected to the post of head of the municipality. In June 2015, a new charter for the urban district of the city of Khasavyurt was adopted.[17] In September 2015, Umakhanov resigned as the head of the city and, on the same day, was elected chairman of the city assembly of deputies, and the duties of the head of the city were entrusted to the head of the Khasavyurt administration, Arslan Arslanov.
