It was established as a district in 1951. The livelihood of the people of the region is based on animal husbandry, primarily agriculture. Aquaculture is also popular in Çifteler. The region, which was under the influence of Phrygian and Roman in ancient times, was known for grain production during the Ottoman period. The origin of the name is based on the fact that the region, which was called "Çifteli" in 1795, changed into Çifteler over time. Sakaryabaşı is offered to visitors as a natural beauty near the district.[5]
