== Geography ==
Nogir is located in the northern part of Prigorodny District, on the left bank of the Terek River, and is effectively connected to the northern outskirts of [Vladikavkaz](/source/Vladikavkaz).

The village borders the following settlements: [Vladikavkaz](/source/Vladikavkaz) to the south, Alkhachurt to the north, Mikhaylovskoye to the northeast, and Zavodskoy to the east.<ref>{{Cite web |title="Nogir" kurgan found looted |url=http://region15.ru/redirect/?params=/news/main/2015/09/17/00-54/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230805131757/https://region15.ru/redirect/?params=/news/main/2015/09/17/00-54/ |archive-date=5 August 2023 |access-date=31 October 2019}}</ref>

== Etymology ==
The name "Nogir" translates from the [Ossetian language](/source/Ossetian_language) as "New Ossetia" (Ossetian: Ног Ир).

== History ==
Before the [October Revolution](/source/October_Revolution), the site of Nogir was used as a military training ground by the Russian Empire.

Modern Nogir was founded in 1921 by refugees from [South Ossetia](/source/South_Ossetia), who had previously settled in the village of Khristianovskoye (now [Digora](/source/Digora)).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archaeologists in Nogir discovered a unique burial site |url=https://south-ossetia.info/v-nogire-arxeologi-nashli-unikalnoe-zaxoronenie/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201119090223/https://south-ossetia.info/v-nogire-arxeologi-nashli-unikalnoe-zaxoronenie/ |archive-date=19 November 2020 |access-date=31 October 2019}}</ref>

The first school in the village was built in the late 1930s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Prigorodny District, Russia - Nogir |url=https://tochka-na-karte.ru/Goroda-i-Gosudarstva/4337-Nogir.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220910210109/https://tochka-na-karte.ru/Goroda-i-Gosudarstva/4337-Nogir.html |archive-date=10 September 2022 |access-date=31 October 2019}}</ref>

In the spring of 1992, the Republic's authorities began constructing the Santa Barbara [microdistrict](/source/microdistrict) in the southwestern outskirts of Nogir to house refugees from South Ossetia and Georgia. The microdistrict now consists of 221 houses.

During the [1992 Ossetian–Ingush conflict](/source/East_Prigorodny_conflict), no military operations took place in Nogir, but the village temporarily lost gas, electricity, and water supply.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of Nogir |url=https://infourok.ru/istoriya-seleniya-nogir-prezentaciya-2006376.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191031192050/https://infourok.ru/istoriya-seleniya-nogir-prezentaciya-2006376.html |archive-date=31 October 2019 |access-date=31 October 2019}}</ref>
