History
editAt the beginning of the 20th century, Greeks still formed part of the population of İncesu. Most of them went with the Turkish-Greek Population Exchange. There is the Kara Mustafa Pasha Caravanserai built by Kara Mustafa Pasha in 1660 in İncesu.
In 2021, archaeologists discovered late Roman and early Byzantine houses, with inscriptions and mosaics.[7]
