History
The town is very near to Söğüt where the Ottoman Empire was founded, but earliest reliable documents about the town go back to the 17th century. According to these documents, the settlement was a part of Köprülü Mehmet Pasha’s (an Ottoman Grand Vizier) possessions in 1661. The Pasha commissioned a complex in the town (Turkish: külliye) which constituted a caravansarai, a mosque, a hamam (bathhouse), a drinking water well and a bridge over the river. These were dedicated to travellers from Istanbul to Central Anatolia. There was also a church, a sign of Greek presence. But during the compulsory population exchange between Greece and Turkey (Turkish: mübadele) in 1920s, they left the town.
