Before Russia secured the coast by the [[Treaty of Adrianople]] (1829), a brisk slave trade had been carried on between the mountaineers and the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Since the [[Circassian beauties]] were usually traded for gold and other commodities before being taken to Turkish [[seraglio]]s, the market place became known as "Gelendzhik" (literally, "white brides"). In 1831, one of the first forts of the [[Black Sea Coastal Line]] was set up at Gelendzhik. At the outbreak of the [[Crimean War]] the fort had to be blown up and abandoned, but it was resettled by the [[Cossacks]] in 1864, at the conclusion of the [[Russian-Circassian War|Russian-Circassian hostilities]], and became known as [[Stanitsa]] Gelendzhiksaya. The town of Gelendzhik was incorporated in 1915.
