History

The settlement was founded in the early 18th century by a Turkmen tribe under the leadership of a certain Karaahmet. The earlier name of the settlement was Koyuneli ("sheep country"). Koyuneli actively participated in the Turkish War of Independence between 1919 and 1922 . One of the local leaders of Kuvai Milliye (Turkish National Movement) was Hamdi Bey, a governor who was arrested and killed by Ahmet Anzavur a gendarme officier loyal to sultan. During the republican years, the settlement was named after him.
