Etymology
The name of the village Chemitokvadzhe ( Adyg. Tsurmytykjuje ) means “aul of the family Chermit” [1] . Sometimes the name of an aul is erroneously translated as “aul of red cows”, from the words chem - “cow”, tho - “red” and kuaje - “aul”. But this version is not well-off, as it is known that until the end of the Caucasian War in the valley of the Chemitokvadzhe river there lived the Shapsug family - Chermit ( Adyg. Tsurmyt ).
History
The first settlements on the territory of the modern settlement appeared during the Stone Age. Since ancient times, various ancestors of the modern Adyg-Abkhaz peoples lived here.
In the first and sixth centuries, one of the largest Roman fortresses on the Black Sea coast was located in the vicinity of the present-day settlement, of which now only ruins remain.
Until 1864, between the rivers Chemitokvadzhe and Chukhukt, there were two ancestral villages - Chemitokvadzhe ( Adyg. Tsurmytykuadzhe - “aul of Chermit family”) and Dzibahable ( Adygh . Dzybahable - “quarter, aul of Dziba”). In this connection, the local autochthonous population as the second name of the village uses the name Dzibahable.
After the end of the Caucasian War , in the course of Muhajirism, almost the entire local Muslim population was evicted into the Ottoman Empire , for their unwillingness to submit to a Russian Orthodox king. As a result, the terrain depopulated for several years.
In 1867, the area in the lower reaches of the Chemitokvadzhe River was donated to Professor Botkin, a gift from the princes Volkonsky for the successful treatment of children. Gradually, Russian, Greek and Armenian immigrants begin to move here.
Before the October Revolution, Botkin’s estate was purchased by Professor N. Ye. Zhukovsky. In 1934, a holiday home of the Zhukovsky Military Air Academy was established on the site of the Zhukovsky manor.
Until 1945, the village Chemitokvadzhe was part of the Shapsugsky district as a separate village council. Then, in the course of its reorganization, the settlement was included in the Lazarevsky district .
On February 10, 1961, the village of Chemitokvadzhe, like the entire territory of the Lazarevsky District , was incorporated into the resort city of Sochi, with the status of an intracity neighborhood assigned to the settlement.
In the middle of the 19th century, the Volkonsky princes donated 50 hectares of land to Professor Botkin as a gift for treating children. Which the latter sold before the revolution to Professor Zhukovsky in honor of whom the first hospital of military men was named in 1934. In 1965, the rest home of the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy was reorganized into the air force sanatorium "Chemitokvadzhe".

The beach at the village as well as in the whole area is mostly pebble.
