In peacetime in the early XX cent., the Terek Cossack Host put forward four mounted regiments, two batteries, two guard companies ("sotnias"), and ten crews (more than 5,000 men). The regional population numbered 1.36 million (1916), including 255,000 Cossacks. The Terek Cossack Host had 2.15 million hectares of land, including 413,000 hectares of allotted communal stanitsa (Cossack village) land (11.9 hectares per one Cossack). The Terek region included four Cossack sections and six national districts in 1905 it was governed by the chief of the region (appointed ataman). The Terek Cossack Host was formed in 1860 including four regiments (Volga, Mountain-Mozdok, Sunzha-Vladikavkaz, and Kizlyar- Grebni). The six Terek regiments were included in the structure of the Caucasus "line" Cossack host in 1832, which later also comprised the newly-formed Sunzha (1817) and two "Little-Russian" regiments (1831 these two were later renamed as Vladikavkaz regiments). The Terek region commanded by the chief of the Caucasus corps was created in 1806. These were meant to defend the fortified lines which were under construction along the Caucasian border. In addition, the Mozdok, Volga, and then Mountain regiments were formed in the 1770s of resettled Cossacks, Russian and Ukrainian peasants, Tatars, and mountain folk from the Caucasus. Three hosts (later called regiments) took shape on the Terek River in 1735: the Grebni one (formed of the first re-settlers' descendants) the Terek-Family one (formed of Don Cossacks) and the Kizlyar one (formed of Don Cossacks, Armenians, and Georgians). The Agrakhan (later called "Family") Cossack Host was formed in 1722 of resettled Don Cossacks on the Agrakhan and the Sulak rivers. The Grebni Cossacks were resettled on the Terek River in 1712. The year 1577 when the Grebni Cossacks were successfully holding the line against the Crimean Tatars in the Tersky town (near the mouth of the Sunzha present-day Kizlyar) was considered the official date of the foundation of the Terek Cossack Host.
through the first half of the XVI cent., as well as migrants from the Don that joined them.
Remote ancestors of the Terek Cossacks were the Grebni (Greben) Cossacks that settled down on the Sunzha River in the late XV cent. Part of the Cossacks in pre-revolutionary Russia quartered in the Terek region/oblast (present-day part of the Stavropol territory, the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, North Ossetia - Alania, Chechnya and Ingushetia, and part of Northern Dagestan) with the center in Vladikavkaz.
