History
Until 1924, the village was called Klishbiyevo (Клишбиево) after the noble family that owned it. Most of the members of the Klishbiy family were forced to immigrate to today's Turkey in 1860s. And they founded a village in Kayseri, a mid-Anatolian city, with the same name. The village was named Kılıç Mehmet, who was head of the family.
