Tarskoye,[a] formerly known as Angusht or Ongusht,[b] is a rural locality (a selo) in Prigorodny District of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, Russia.
The stanitsa was built on the site of Ingush lands as fixated by Nikolay Zeidlits in 1873, mentioned in his letter to the government published in the scientific journal «News of the Caucasian Department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society» in 1894: “Accompanied by a quide from captain Lakhanin, and Cossack horses, at noon we headed towards the south through the gorge of the river Kambileyevka, to the Tarskaya stanitsa.
This military settlement of 1,5 thousand people, is occupied a vast basin, irrigated by countless creeks of the river Kambileyevka.
Before the conquest of the region, this forest slum was occupied by the Ingush, who were evicted from here to protect the environs of Vladikavkaz.
The many stone towers scattered throughout the valley still testify to the former inhabitants of this area, which is not very suitable for arable farming due to the constant rains.”
