Kamennomostsky

Russia / Adygeja / Kamennomostskiy /

Kamennomostsky (Russian: Каменномо́стский; lit. stone bridge; Adyghe: Хьаджэкъо, Ḥadžəqo), also known as Khadzhokh (Хаджо́х) is a rural locality (a settlement) in Maykopsky District of the Republic of Adygea, Russia, located on the Belaya River 40 kilometers (25 mi) south of Maykop. Population: 7,213 (2010 Census).
An Adyghe aul, famous for its prolonged resistance against Russian rule in the Caucasian War of 1817–1864, was located on the territory of this settlement. In 1862, a Cossack outpost was built in place of the ravaged aul, which later grew into the stanitsa of Kamennomostskaya (Каменномостская). The stanitsa was granted urban-type settlement status in 1948 but was demoted to rural locality on March 10, 2011.
