According to official data, the village of Plievo was founded in 1781 (although a later date, 1836, is also found in scientific works). The first settlers were representatives of the Pliev taïp, which is also the reason for the name of the village (Ingush: Пхьилекъонгий-Юрт, Phileqongiy-Yurt literally means, according to some sources, “the village of the sons of Pkhyile”, that is, "the village of the Plievs").
