The settlement was probably founded four centuries ago. The original population of the village was composed of migrants from Caucasus[3] (probably Kipchaks, a medieval Turkic people lived in what is now Russian steps and Caucasus). Also people from other parts of Turkey were settled in the village. The settlement was declared a seat of township in 1990.
