Early ages

After the death of Alexander the Great, the Kingdom of Bithynia proclaimed its independence and declared its sovereignty in the region including Sakarya. In the 1st century BC, the Roman Empire ended the Kingdom of Bithynia and annexed the region.

When the Roman Empire was divided into two parts (365 AD), the region of Bithynia remained in the Byzantine Empire. The Islamic armies that came to seize Istanbul conquered the region. These dominations were not permanent. From time to time the Sassanids organized raids to the region.

Timber follow-up was established in Adapazarı to follow the timber work. The logs were delivered to the Black Sea via the Sakarya River and then to the Shipyard to the Amira. Shovel construction work was given to Karasu. All of the logs were not sent to the capital, ship construction and repairs were made in the mouth of Sakarya (New neighborhood). The wooden pieces of the ball carts were prepared and sent from Sakarya to Tophane.
