It was founded as the settlement of Adygeysky () in 1969 due to the construction of Krasnodar Reservoir. According to some other sources, the original name was "Adygeysk". The name alluded to the Adyghe people indigenous to the region. On July 27, 1976, it was granted town status and renamed Teuchezhsk (), for Adyghe poet Tsug Teuchezh. In 1990, the original name was restored.
