Tens of thousands of years ago, theAzov Sea was much larger and covered the delta of theKuban River. Deposition ofsilt by the Kuban gradually pushed out the sea and shaped the delta with numerous shallow estuaries. Frequent eruptions of the mud volcanoes contributed to this deposition process. There are about 25 mud volcanoes in the area and some are still active.
Situated close to the site of ancientTmutarakan, Temryuk was vied by various powers as a vantage point at the mouth of the Kuban River. The first recorded settlement on the site wasTumnev, aTatar fortress, which passed to theGenoese merchants in the 14th century. It was known asCopa until occupied by theCrimean Khanate in 1483.
The Russians, allied with a local potentate,Temryuk of Kabardia, captured Tumnev and built a fortress called New Temryuk there. The Crimean Tatars retook the fort in 1570; it was known asAdis for a century to come. In the 18th century, the site was settled by theCossacks, whosestanitsa was incorporated as thetown of Temryuk in 1860.[citation needed]. The Germans took the Kuban Gorge (General Konrad Pass) and the town of Temyruk in 1942–43.
The port of Temryuk is 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) from the town and is operated byMechel Group. It is southern Russia's main export port forliquefied petroleum gas, and also exports oil and transships general cargo, bulk cargo, and grain.[9][10]
