History

The area around Arpaçbahşiş was a part of historical Cilicia Pedias (eastern part of Cilicia, the flat Cilicia). During the domination of Ramadanid principality (a Turkmen dynasty between 13th and 16th centuries), a Turkmen tribe named Varsak settled in the area, north of the modern town of Tömük, several kilometers northeast of Arpaçbahşiş. At about 1375, a certain Elvan Bey of Varsak began controlling the area around Arpaçbahşiş. But the settlement was established much later; probably at the beginning of the 18th century, during the Ottoman era. Sarıkeçili, a Turkmen tribe from Konya, a city in central Anatolia, settled in the area. The town was named after Arpaç Hüseyin, the chief of the Sarıkeçili tribe.[5]

In 1865, the settlement was established as a village of Mersin. In 1970, the village of Arpaçbahşiş was declared a town.
