History

Gunib was historically important as a natural fortress during the Caucasian War of the 19th century. Imam Shamil, leader of the Chechen and Dagestani tribes, made his last stand against the Russians at Gunib, where he gave himself up to the Russian commander, Prince Aleksandr Baryatinsky, on August 25, 1859.

Gunibsky Canton in the borders of modern Gunibsky District was established in 1928. It was transformed into a district along with other cantons on June 3, 1929.
