History
There are Phrygian ruins around Kırka. But Kırka was founded in 1634 during Ottoman Empire era. Inıtially it was a temporary settlement of Turkmen nomads in the pasture. But some of these nomads decided to settle. According to tradition the founders of Kırka were forty lords, hence it was named Kırka ("forty lords" in Turkish is kırk ağa). Kırka flourished as a market center of the area. In 1972 it was declared as a seat of township.
