Foundation
The founder of the settlement was Khosa Umakhanov, a member of the teip "Tontaroy", the same teip who founded the village of Oyskhara in the 18th century, according to writer A. P. Berzhye.Caucasian War
In 1840, during an uprising by the Chechens, under the leadership of Imam Shamil, displaced Chechens settled in villages located along the left bank of the Michik River. As a result, Akhmat-Yurt was founded, then called Khosi-Yurt.In 1842, Khosa Umakhanov, the founder of the village, moved to Oki-Yurt. He later moved to a gorge just south of Khosi-Yurt. He, with close friend Shuaib Mullah, took part in a famous campaign on Kizlyar, according to writer A. P. Berzhye.
After the occupation of Chechnya by the tsarist troops, Russian authorities began the process of enlarging settlements. This involved uniting small auls, as well as resettling the inhabitants of small farms to larger villages and then liquidating the farms. This was done to ease management, as it was almost impossible to manage all of the farms, which had become scattered throughout Chechnya due to the wars. To prevent a farm from being liquidated, at least 60 families needed to live on it. As a result, Khosa invited many of his family and friends to Khosi-Yurt, therefore, the settlement remained. Sheikh Kunta-Haji visited Khosa during a visit to Khosi-Yurt.
