History
The place used to be a Greek village called Kouvouklia (or Kouvoukleia) in the Ottoman Empire and for several hundred years in the Byzantine Empire before that. The ethnic Greeks who had not already fled Kouvouklia were forced to leave in 1922 due to the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. In addition to college students, today's citizens include many descendants of Turks who emigrated from Greece as a result of the population exchange agreement in the 1920s after the Turkish War of Independence.
