It is part of the Turkmen-Yörük communities from the region of South Azerbaijan. ,

History
The old name of the village is "Pernek". Since the settlement was devastated by the effects of wars in the region, it was recorded as a desolate (empty) village under the name "Pürnek" in the 16th century Ottoman censuses. According to the avarız register of 1642, there are 14 avarız households in the village. In the 1835 census (only the male population was counted), the village was called "Pürnek", where only Muslims lived, with a population of 34 men in 9 households. The number of households in the colony, known as "Pernik" in the 1876 archives, is 17 and 60 people live in the village.

With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, the name of the colony, which is located among the villages of the district of Kelkit with the name of Pernek, was changed in the late 1950s and began to appear in the archives with its current name since the 1960 census.
