The stanitsa was in 1857 as part of the Laba - line of defense at the former southern border of the Russian Empire to the Caucasus in place of a destroyed Adyge Auls built. In the first years it was a military fortification under the name Ust-Tiginskaya (after the little river Bolshoi Tigin, which flows into the Urup), which served the 5th  Brigade of the Cuban Cossack Army as headquarters . In 1873 Stanitsa was assigned to the department (Otdel) Batalpaschinsk of the Kuban Oblast .

On July 19, 1924, Otradnaya became the administrative center of a newly established Rajon, which after various administrative changes has belonged to the Krasnodar Territory since 1937.
