History
Akbez township was established in 1972 by merging the two villages of Salmanuşağı and Nuhuşağı. During the early years of the Turkish Republic, these villages were in the Province of Cebeli Bereket. After this province was abolished in 1933, the villages were made a part of Gaziantep Province. But after the Hatay Republic was merged into Turkey in 1939, the villages as well as the rest of Hassa were made a part of Hatay Province.
