[13][14] Galashki is situated on the left bank of the Assa River, approximately 30 kilometers southwest of the regional center, Sunzha, and 32 kilometers southeast of the city of Magas (by road).

The village was founded by the clan (teip) of Galai [ru] who migrated from Galanchozh.

A. Güldenstädt indicated Galashki among the total number of Ingush villages and districts.

[18] Ten years later, I. F. Blaramberg [ru] indicated Galashki as Ingush village too in his fundamental work “Historical, topographical, statistical, ethnographic and military description of the Caucasus”, written in 1834 as a result of his business trip and expedition in the Caucasus.

During the existence of Caucasian Imamate, Galashki was the center of a separate Galashkinskoe naibstvo, which was ruled by naib Dudarov,[21][22][23] and also Muhammad-Mirza Anzorov.
