History

During Byzantine Empire era, the main settlement was in Karışmaa Birindi, an ancient town on a tumulus few kilometers south west of Kılbasan. Kılbasan and vicinity had been a part of Seljuk Empire in the second half of the 11th century. After Mongol domination, the area became a part of Karamanid beylik (principality). In 1467 the area was incorporated into the rising Ottoman Empire. The earliest settler of the town is probably a Turkmen nomad from north (Kastamonu region) whose title deed is still in the main mosque of Kılbasan. In 1967, Kılbasan was declared a township.
