The area around Çağlayan was inhabited during the ancient ages, but Çağlayan is a relatively recent settlement. In 1946 owing to its situation along the valley, it was founded as a common market place of the neighbouring villages. It quickly flourished and in 1969 it was declared a seat of township.[5] The economy of the town depends on agriculture. Lately kiwifruit production is promoted.
