history
The city was founded in the 7th century BC. Founded by Greek colonists from Miletus under the name Tripoli , but was relatively insignificant because of the poor connection to the hinterland. From 1204 it was the personal fief of the Komnenian Emperor of Trebizond . With the conquest of Trapezunts by Mehmed II in 1461, the place became part of the Ottoman Empire under the name Driboli . The city then became part of the Nahiye of Kürtün , which was inhabited by Çepni Turks. The Turkish traveler Evliya Çelebi , who visited Tirebolu in 1640, tells of an ancient fortress and a flourishing city inhabited by Greeks. During the First World War it was occupied by Russian troops from 1916 to 1918, which caused the Muslim residents to flee. The Greek population was deported to Şebinkarahisar from 1916 .
In 1990, the district gave over half of its territory to the two newly founded districts Güce (southwestern part) and Doğankent (southeastern part) in the south.
