The area where Jews lived was in the northern part of central Grozny, on the right bank of the Sunzha River, within the Akhmatovsky district.

[1] The first Mountain Jewish community moved to the area of the Grozny fortress in the second half of the 19th century from the trading village of Endirey in Dagestan.

The main occupations of the community's residents were arable farming, gardening, cattle breeding, crafts, trade and leather tanning.

Later, the Belikovsky Bridge was built, connecting the settlement with the central part of the city, which influenced the economic development of the area.

Nikolai Kharuzin [ru] (1865-1900), Russian ethnographer, wrote about the life of Jews in Grozny in his article, Across the Mountains of the North Caucasus.

Having lived many centuries in the mountains, the Jews have not lost the commercial spirit inherent in their compatriots, and now they control the trade of Grozny and Nalchik.

But life in the mountains has nevertheless left its mark on them: many of them are excellent horsemen and fearless horsemen.In 1893, large oil deposits were discovered in Grozny, leading to the rapid development of the city.
