The [[Terek Cossack]] Host was created in 1577 by free Cossacks resettling from the Volga to the Terek River. Local Terek Cossacks joined this host later. In 1792, the host was included in the Caucasus Line Cossack Host, from which it separated again in 1860, with [[Vladikavkaz]] as its capital. In 1916, the population of the host was 255,000, within an area of 1.9 million [[Obsolete Russian units of measurement|desyatinas]].{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}
