History

The village was founded after 1886 when the railroad from İzmir to Aydın was constructed. After the Balkan wars, Turkish refugees from Greece were settled in the village and, it being on the route of the railway and close to the D.320 state highway, the village quickly flourished. In 1949 it was declared a town.
