An Adygheaul, 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.[4]
Khadzhokh canyon (Хаджохская теснина), which is 45 meters (148 ft) deep but only 3 meters (9.8 ft) wide, is located on the Belaya River near the settlement. The modern name of the settlement is after a collapsed rock that forms a natural bridge across the canyon.
