The first records of this town date back to the year of 1751, but it is even older, as evidenced by a tombstone found from the Middle Ages. This tombstone still lays in an old village at the foot of the mountains and has been given the name of " The Turkish Tomb". The old village was previously abandoned at the end of XIX. st.
