Tbilisskaya

Tbilisskaya stands on the Kuban at the site of a former redoubt on the Caucasian line. The Tiflis redoubt took its name from a Russian infantry regiment, and in 1802 Cossacks resettled from the former Yekaterinoslav host arrived to found a stanitsa beside it. The settlement was known as Tiflisskaya. Its Cossacks served at posts along the Kuban, a frontier where the Russian military line faced the lands of the Circassian peoples.
