Ampelonas was founded in the first quarter of the 15th century, when the Ottoman sultan Murad II settled 5,000–6,000 Yörüks from Konya in the area of Ampelonas.
The establishment of Ampelonas is attributed to the Ottoman Sultan Murad II's decision in the early 15th century to relocate a significant number of Yörük people from Konya to the Ampelonas area.
