Karaağaç is very close to İskenderun and it is almost at the coast of Mediterranean Sea. Its distance to Antakya (center of the province) is about . Karaağaç is a relatively new town. 200 years ago, five close villages were founded by the people from Belen, a district center about at the north. After a considerable increase in population, in 1986 four of these villages voted to be united as a township. Now the former villages are the quarters of the town.[5]
