History
Kadar was capital of the Kadar state of the Akusha-Dargo Confederacy. Kadar was a stronghold that provided protection for several villages. It also expanded into Kumuk lands. In the 14th century, Tamerlan invaded the North Caucasus and destroyed the Kadar Castle. It took Kadar several centuries to recover. In the 19th century, when Akusha-Dargo seized its lands, Kadar joined the Russian Empire.
