The city originated from the Russian military fortress founded in 1803, and the name owes its source to the sour taste of Narzan mineral water.

Many outstanding people worked at the resort: M. Yu. Lermontov, A. S. Pushkin, A. P. Chekhov, LN Tolstoy, VV Mayakovsky, AM Gorky, AA Alyabyev, FI Shalyapin, MI Glinka, NA Rimsky-Korsakov.
