Although no document exists about the history of the settlement, the ruins of a historical hamam suggest that the history of the town goes back to 15th century. There was a sizeable Armenian population in the past.[5] In the early years of the 20th century migrants from Bulgaria, Greece and Georgia settled in Yeniceköy.[6] In 1956 the settlement was declared a seat of township. Most of the town residents work in the factories around Yeniceköy and İnegöl.
