{{Main|Circassians in Jordan}}
The Circassians had a major role in the modern history of Jordan. Circassian refugees started arriving in Ottoman Transjordan after their expulsion from the Ottoman Balkans during the [[Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878)]]. Between 1878 and 1904, Circassians founded (or re-established) five sites: Amman (1878), Wadi al-Sir (1880), Jerash (1884), Na'ur (1901), and al-Rusayfa (1904).{{sfn|Hamed-Troyansky|2017|p=607}} Amman was primarily a Circassian village until [[World War I]]. Amman grew rapidly thanks to Circassian agricultural labor and trade, and mercantile investment from Damascus, Nablus, and Jerusalem, made possible by the construction of the [[Hejaz Railway]].{{sfn|Hamed-Troyansky|2017|pp=610–13}}

Over the years, various Adyghe have served in distinguished roles in the kingdom of Jordan. Adyghes have served as a prime minister ([[Sa'id al-Mufti]]), as ministers (commonly at least one minister should represent the Circassians in each cabinet), as high-ranking officers, etc., and due to their important role in the history of Jordan, Adyghe form the [[Hashemites]]' [[honour guard]] at the royal palaces. They represented Jordan in the [[Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo]] in 2010, joining other honour guards such as the [[Airborne Ceremonial Unit]].<ref>{{cite web|date=5 August 2010|title=Jordan at the Tattoo &#124; Edinburgh Military Tattoo|url=http://www.edintattoo.co.uk/news-and-press/jordan-the-tattoo|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601062834/http://www.edintattoo.co.uk/news-and-press/jordan-the-tattoo|archive-date=1 June 2013|access-date=14 August 2012|publisher=edintattoo.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Echoes from Jordan|url=http://www.echoesfromjordan.com/performing-group/circassian-honour-guard|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100727053620/http://www.echoesfromjordan.com/performing-group/circassian-honour-guard|archive-date=27 July 2010|access-date=29 January 2020}}</ref>
