history
Karabiga was founded in the first half of the 7th century BC. Founded as a Milesian colony. His name goes back to the god Priapus . Strabon mentions that wine production was carried out in the surrounding area. Thucydides points to a naval base near Priapus. 334 BC BC the city of Alexander the Great surrendered without a fight on his campaign in the run-up to the Battle of Granikos .
In the Eastern Roman Empire , the city was known as Pegae and had a Byzantine fortress.
During the Allied occupation after World War I, Karabiga was part of Ahmed Anzavur's territorial claims for his attempt to save the area from the Turkish nationalists. He was killed in April 1921 not far from Karabiga by the nationalists in the alliance with Arnavud Rahman.
