History

First mentioned in 1957, it was known as Yagelnaya Guba (Russian: Я́гельная Губа́) until 1967 and as Skalisty (Russian: Скали́стый) from 1981 to 1994, although it was often referred to as Murmansk-130 (Russian: Му́рманск-130). The name Skalisty was made official in 1994, but in 1999 the town was renamed back to Gadzhiyevo—the name it previously bore from 1967 to 1981. The current name is in honor of Magomet Gadzhiyev, a distinguished World War II submarine Commanding Officer.

Gadzhiyevo was granted town status (as Skalisty) in 1981.
