History
The town occupies the site of the Byzantine city of Nakoleia which is attested from Roman times.
After the town was conquered by the Seljuk Turks, it was known as Kala'-i-Mashihya, the Christian Castle. During that time the old monastic centre dedicated to the archangel Michael was converted into a shrine to the 8th-century Muslim saint (seyyid) and warrior Battal Gazi, who allegedly fell in a battle nearby in 740. The town was eventually renamed after Battal Gazi.
From 1867 until 1922, Seyitgazi was part of Hüdavendigâr vilayet.
