Although there are ruins around the town, the town itself is quite young. The population of Kocahasanlı is composed of Yörüks who were nomadic Turkmen. They settled in a location named Üçtepe, northwest of the town in 1928. In 1952 the village was relocated to its present location. But there is also a group of families which had moved from Bulgaria as a result of ethnic repression by the Bulgarian government against Turks during the 1950s. In 1972, Kocahasanlı was declared a seat of township.[5]
The main economic activity is greenhouse vegetable agriculture. The town also produces citrus and bananas. The coastline of Kocahasanlı is about long and summer tourism begins to play a part in town revenues.
