History
The probable origin of the population of the town is the Danishment tribe of Turkmens. The tribe was a nomadic tribe but in 1700s, the Ottoman government forced them to settle. After some clashes the tribe settled in what is now Pınarkent and they changed their primary source of income, from sheep breeding to agriculture. In the 20th century, after irrigation facilities were improved and mechanization was introduced, the settlement flourished and it was declared a township in 1992.
