The area around the town was inhabited during the Lydian era (6th century BC and before) age. But the town of Gökçen was established in 1957 by merging two villages. Both of villages were Aydınoğlu villages in the 14th century. (Aydınoğlu or Aydın was a Turkmen beylik later merged to Ottoman Empire) One was called Fetih (later Fata) and the other Karaehat (later Kahrat) The new name Gökçen refers to Gökçen Efe a folk hero of Turkish War of Independence, who fell in Fata in 1919.
