The village of Dzhubgskaya was founded at the mouth of the river in 1864,after the eviction of the indigenous people - the Shapsugs. The village was the headquarters of the Shapsug coastal battalion.
Initially, about 360 people (65 families) lived here. Now the Stanichka microdistrict is located on these places. After the liquidation of the battalion in 1870, the settlement was renamed the village of Dzhubga, which later became a village.
By 1905, the village consisted of 74 households of Russian peasants. The main impetus for the development of the village was the construction of the port of the Crimean-Caucasian shipping company. Customs, post office, telegraph and visiting summer residents appeared in the settlement.
In 1935, a rest house was opened in Dzhubga. At the same time, a park was founded, which adorns the village today. And in 1966, the settlement was given the status of a resort village.

The beautiful legend of Dzhubga
There is a sad legend about the name of the Dzhubga River. In ancient times, a noble Shapsug lived in these parts, who had a beautiful daughter, Dzhubga. The father allowed the girl to walk in the garden only at night, so that no man could see her dazzling beauty. Many wooed her, but her father refused all suitors. Once a young man made his way into the garden and kidnapped the beauty. The loving couple hid in the mountains. But the father tracked them down and killed her husband, and Dzhubga was forcibly taken away. The heartbroken "night beauty" threw herself off a cliff into the river, which became known by her name.
According to an old legend, the village of Dzhubga, whose sights are now known far beyond the region, arose after a truce between the warring Adyghe tribes. In honor of this, a feast was arranged, at which the elder broke the jug for good luck. By his decree, a village appeared on this place, called Bzhid (“broken vessel”).
