The movement of population of Ksani gorge as historical and ethnographical data confirm, was directed mainly from mountain to the flat.Historically the population of Ksani gorge was Georgian. Ossetians settled down in the upper part of Ksani gorge from XV c. first in upper part of Truso then they came down to the flat to Zakhori where there are no Georgians today. Ossetians appeared in the villages of down part of Ksani gorge later in the XVIIc. And this process went on during the whole XIXc. According to nowadays data the number of Georgian population has catastrophically been reduced in Ksani gorge since 2008.
