Adler, a resort town nestled on the Black Sea coast south of Gelendzhik and north of Sochi, boasts a rich history dating back to ancient times. Once part of Circassia, Adler became a part of Russia under Tsar Alexander I. The modern settlement's roots can be traced back to 1838 with the establishment of the Russian fort of Velyaminovsky.
