History
The city gave its name to the early Bronze Age Maykop culture after the discovery of a royal burial site there in 1897.
Following the establishment of a military camp in 1825, the Imperial Russian Army built a military fort at Maykop in 1857.
In 1910 oil deposits were discovered in the vicinity of Maykop. The city was the administrative center of the Maykopsky Otdel of the Kuban Oblast.
In 1936, Maykop and the surrounding region merged with Adyghe Autonomous Oblast and became the administrative centre of the autonomy. The Wehrmacht occupied Maykop on 10 August 1942 without a fight as a result of a commando operation by the Brandenburgers during the Battle of the Caucasus. German attempts to re-start oil production in the scorched-earth area proved only minimally successful. On 29 January 1943, the Transcaucasian Front of the Red Army re-took the town.
Since 1991 Maykop has served as the capital of the Republic of Adygea in the Russian Federation.
