History
The name is derived from the ancient city of Coralla, though that Pontic settlement was probably sited nearer to today's Eynesil.
Much later there was a Genoese trading post here and the ruins of their castle is 20 km east of the town of
Chepni Turks arrived in Görele from Khorasan in the early years of the 13/14th century.
As the castle of Kordyle, this was one of the last Christian outposts to fall to Sultan Mehmet II after he conquered the Empire of Trebizond in 1461. According to Pontic ballads, it was defended against the Sultan's soldier by a peasant girl until she took her life by throwing herself from a window. According to William Miller, the window could still be seen up until the Crimean War.
From 1878 to 1922, it was a part of Ottoman Trebizond Vilayet. During the republican era, it became a part of newly founded Giresun province.
Görele, like the rest of this coast was occupied by Russian troops for two years during the First World War.
