History
The early Bronze Age Maykop culture has been named after the city after the discovery of a royal burial site there in 1897.[10]
A Russian military fort was built at Maykop in 1857.[11]
In 1911, oil deposits were discovered in the vicinity of Maykop.[citation needed]
In 1936, Maykop and the surrounding region was merged with Adyghe Autonomous Oblast, and became the administrative centre of the autonomy. Maykop was occupied by the Wehrmacht on August 9, 1942 without a fight as a result of Brandenburger commando operation. In January 1943, it was liberated by the Transcaucasian Front of the Red Army.
Since 1991, Maykop has been the capital of the Republic of Adygea in the Russian Federation.

stanitsa of Khanskaya
khutor of Kosinov- settlement of Podgorny
