[citation needed] Vardane (formerly known as Buap and Tsopsyn) is one of the oldest settlements on the territory of present-day Sochi.
Its name is of Abkhaz origin and is linked to the Vardan family, whose name can be found in the toponymy of Abkhazia as well.
From the 16th century onward, the Abazin population was being constantly expelled and assimilated by Ubykhs.
In 1864, the land of Vardane and the neighboring Uch-Dere were handed over to the Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich of Russia.
Within the microdistrict are facilities for animal husbandry and greenhouses, as well as a school, a clinic, and several recreation centers such as "Sheksna" and "Vardane".
