Raiders from the Copper Age to the Present

With its deep-rooted history dating back to the Copper Age, Akıncılar district has witnessed time under the roof of countless civilizations. As understood from the inscriptions of Evliya Çelebi, the region is a village where Armenians with orchards live. During the Ottoman Period, the region was divided into two; Ezbider up, Ezbider down. According to the rumor, the origin of the name Ezbider, as a result of the Turkmen tribes, who continued their lives by feeding goats in the region, used the areas in the forests as fields, and the crops cultivated in these unprocessed lands in the first years gave very little yield, they started to call the region as "Az-biter". It is the pronunciation of the "Azbiter" region as "Ezbider", which has lost its voice over time.

It continued as Akıncılar district municipality in 1990 with its changed name in 1962. With the Şebinkarahisar Rebellion, the Ottoman Empire forced the settled Armenians to migrate to different regions in order to increase the control in the region, and the district of Akincilar, which could not preserve the heritage of history due to the lack of much investment in the following years, has been able to carry many remains to the present day.
