Vladivostok, which lies on the hills at the head of the bay, is a major city and Russian port on the Pacific.

It is separated from the Sea of Japan's Peter the Great Gulf by Shkota Peninsula on the northwest, Cape Goldobina on the east-northeast, and Cape Tigrovy on the west.

During the Crimean War, the British ship Winchester visited the bay while searching for Vasily Zavoyko's squadron.

In 1859, Count Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky gave the bay its present name of "Zolotoy Rog", which means "Golden Horn" in Russian, alluding to a similarly shaped harbor in Constantinople.
