History

The ancient Greek name of the town was Kremaste (Κρεμαστή in Ancient Greek, Kırmasti in modern Turkish), under the Kingdom of Bithynia. Around 300AD, the town became important when it became a Christian diocese. In 1336, the town was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire by Orhan. From 1867 until 1922, Kırmasti was part of Hüdavendigâr vilayet. The town was devastated in 1920 during the Greco-Turkish war. After the War of Independence, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the town council decided to rename the city Mustafakemalpaşa in his honor.
