Abstract. The essay attempts to outline the prehistory and history of the Khumara village. The first part is a brief historiographical review of medieval sources of the 10th–12th centuries, works of Russian and European authors of the 17th–19th centuries, as well as archaeological research of the second half of the 20th century, devoted to the reasons for the emergence of the first settlement and fortress in this area. The second part covers the history of the village – from its foundation in the 19th century to the present. The paper is based on archival documents of the 19th century, scientific publications of the 2000s, information from local history websites, newspaper articles and oral reports from local informants.
