Archaeological evidence suggests that the area has been inhabited since the 9th century, with a variety of Bronze Age artifacts, such as bracelets, mirrors, earrings, rings, and ceramics, having been discovered in the local necropolises.
In the 18th century, Furtoug was home to several famous builders of towers, cult, and burial structures, including Dugo Akhriev, Dyatsi Lyanov, and Khazbi Tsurov. The mausoleum of Dugo Akhriev is still standing today.
In the latter half of the 18th century, members of the Tsurov and Lyanov clans of Ossetians settled in Furtoug and assimilated with the local population. In 1880, Russian scientist D. I. Mendeleev visited the area as part of a geological expedition.
On May 15, 1981, a memorial museum was opened in the home of Gapur Akhriev in Furtoug. The museum showcases a variety of artifacts and cultural items, including antiquities, a traditional hearth, kitchen utensils, old photographs, and documents. The region is also home to several clans of Ingush taipas, including the Akhrievs and the Borovs.
