The city of Adygeysk is a resettlement city and has a tragic history.
The chronicle of the city begins with the order of the Council of
Ministers of the USSR dated June 22, 1967, 1737-r, which approved the
design assignment for the construction of the Krasnodar reservoir.
The subsequent order of the Krasnodar Regional Executive Committee
743 of October 25, 1967 approved the general provision, which determined
the procedure for the resettlement of the population from the basin of
the reservoir. This man-made sea with a capacity of 3.1 million cubic
meters was supposed to provide water to the rice systems of the Kuban
and desalination fish-breeding estuaries, as well as to prevent floods
from flooding the land in the lower reaches of the Kuban River.
In 1969, a new settlement was formed - the village of Adygeysk, to which
residents of 13 settlements were resettled from the flood zone of the
reservoir bowl - 1957 families (8145 people)
The villages of
Lakshukai, Edepsukai-1, Edepsukai-2, Old and New Kazanukai,
Shabanokhabl, Shahancheriekhabl, Leninokhabl, the villages of Mayak and
Karmalino Kurgo and Kalinino were under the waters of the Krasnodar
reservoir. The inhabitants of the villages of Tlyustenkhabl, Vochepshy,
Tauikhabl, Kunchukokhabl, Neshukay, Pchegatlukay, Pshikuykhabl,
Novo-Vochepshey and Gorodskoy villages were partially resettled in the
new village.
On July 27, 1976, by the Decree of the Presidium of
the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the working settlement of Adygeysk in
the Teuchezhsky district of the Adygei Autonomous Region was transformed
into a city of regional subordination with a change of name to the city
of Teuchezhsk - by the name of the ashug of Adygea Tsuga Teuchezha.
In April 1981, the city of Teuchezhsk became the regional center of
the united (with the Oktyabrsky district) Teuchezhsky district.
On April 25, 1983, once again the Teuchezhsky district is divided into
two - Oktyabrsky with the administrative center in the village of
Oktyabrsky and Teuchezhsky with the regional center in the city of
Teuchezhsk.
On September 26, 1990, by the Decree of the Presidium
of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, the city was returned to its
historical name Adygeysk.
In 1993, by the Decree of the President
of the Republic of Adygea A. A. Dzharimov, a single governing body was
formed - the administration of the city of Adygeysk and the Teuchezhsky
district.
Within the new boundaries, the municipal formation
"City of Adygeysk" was formed in 2000 after the
administrative-territorial division with the Teuchezhsky district.
In 2001, the village of Gatlukay and the farm of Psekups were
included in the city limits of the city of Adygeysk.
