History
In the 19th century, the town's location was occupied by a public farm used for military training. The name of the farm was Velipaşa, referring to an Ottoman pasha. After the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), Turkish refugees from Bulgaria and Serbia were settled on the farm, and the settlement was named Velimeşe. In the early 20th century, the settlement experienced two temporary occupations. In 1912, it was occupied by Bulgaria during the First Balkan War, but it was returned to Turkey during the Second Balkan War. Between 1920 and 1922, following the First World War, it was occupied by Greece. On 15 October 1922, Velimeşe was returned to Turkey. In 1974, the settlement was declared the seat of a township.
