The name of the city of Bayburt; It was given as a result of the infiltration of the Indo-European Mitanni immigrants among the Khalt (Halti) people during the period when Urartu / Khaldis, who spoke one of the old Caucasian languages, dominated the region.

The word Bagbartu comes from Mitannice, which is said to be given by groups who came to settle among the Khalts.

The known history of Bayburt history begins with Azzi and Hayasalar, one of the oldest tribes of Anatolia. It is followed by Hatti, Hittite and Urartu.

Even today; The Black Sea people call Laz (if not entirely) settled along the coast, Laz, and Halt to those settled inland and mountainous areas. The region along the mountainous line between Yusufeli and Şebinkarahisar in the inner parts of the Eastern Black Sea; It has been called Haldia throughout history, meaning the homeland of those who followed the footsteps of Khalt, Urartu's Chief God.

In the 7th century BC the region was first subjected to Kimmer, then Scythian raids. Urartu collapsed and the Royal Scythians who came to the region founded Gymnias, the largest city in Anatolia according to that period. It is estimated that the city of Gymnias is located within the borders of today's Bayburt province and to the north.

After the end of the Scythian sovereignty in the Middle East, Bayburt remained within the borders of the Anadolu first national state of Anatolia: Pontos bir state, which was once said by the Armenian and then the famous historian Mahmut Goloğlu of our region. It was a new era with the destruction of Rome by Rome.

It is known that Bayburt came under the domination of the Roman Empire for a while and when this empire was divided into two, it remained within the territory of Eastern Rome. According to the organization of the Byzantine Empire, the country was divided into a number of themes similar to today's states. Bayburt was attached to the Haldia Thema and was the fourth of the seven bishops of this province. Bayburt, which was known to have been fortified and repaired by Emperor Justinian I, was under the domination of the Bagratian dynasty during the Arab conquests.

Bayburt and its region are among the first regions where Turkmens settled in Anatolia. During the Anatolian expedition of Tuğrul Bey (1054), he was subjected to the attacks of the Seljuk forces, which attacked the fields extending to Bayburt, Çoruh River and Black Sea Mountains (Parhar). Certain Turkish domination took place after the Battle of Malazgirt Square. From 1072 to 1202, the city was dominated by the Saltuklu Principality, which sometimes ruled in the Erzurum region, and sometimes by the Danişmentliler. At one point it was occupied by Theodoros Gabras, the commander of Alexios I, but soon re-entered the control of the Danishments. (1098) When the Seljuks ended the Saltuklu Principality in 1202, they seized Bayburt.

The main development of Bayburt was during the reign of Mugisuddin Tugrul Shah of Erzurum Melik and his son Cihan Shah (1020-1230), brother of Turkmen Shah Suleiman Shah. Tugrul Shah Bayburt rebuilt and fortified the castle. While the borders against the Mongols were strengthened by Alaeddin Keykubad I, Bayburt was connected to Konya together with Erzurum. After the Battle of Kösedağ in 1243, Bayburt remained under the control of the Seljuks in accordance with the agreement made during the invasion of Anatolia by the Mongols. This is understood from the fact that in 1291, coins were suppressed by Giyaseddin Mesud.

Bayburt, which is Turkmen and speaks Turkish, developed further due to its presence on the Tabriz-Trabzon road during the reign of Ilkhans and Safavids, was a place where the Genoese and Venetian caravans stayed. Marko Polo, who stopped by on his way to Mongolia, stated that the city had rich silver mines. In fact, the Ilkhanians provided a substantial tax income.

Here, the madrasas of Mahmudiye and Yakutiye were established, Mevlevi had developed and also the organization of Ahi had spread.

After the death of the last Ilhanid ruler Abu Said Bahadir Khan (1334), Bayburt passed into the hands of Eretnaogullari. The city, which was attacked from time to time by the Erzincan Bey, entered the administration of Mutahharten for a while. However, soon after Kadi Burhaneddin, Kutlu Bey, one of the Akkoyunlu beys, was taken with the help of his son Ahmet Bey and Ahmet Bey was given as ikta. After a while, the city passed into the hands of the Karakoyunlu, again passed into the hands of Akkoyunlu and stayed there for a long time.

After this, Bayburt was given to Erzincan Bey and Mehmet Bey Pasha with the name of Erzincan and declared the center of Sancak.
