Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Malgobeksky District is one of the four in the Republic of Ingushetia[1] and has administrative jurisdiction over all of its twelve rural localities.[4] The town of Malgobek serves as its administrative center,[4] despite being incorporated separately[1] as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[4]

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Malgobeksky Municipal District.[5] Its twelve rural localities are incorporated into twelve rural settlements within the municipal district.[5] The town of republic significance of Malgobek is incorporated separately from the district as Malgobek Urban Okrug, but serves as the administrative center of the municipal district as well.[5]

Border issues

Malgobeksky and Sunzhensky Districts are a point at issue in the Chechen-Ingush border delimitation discussion.[10]
