According to records, Gebze was founded in the 4th century BC. The oldest known history of the Bithynia region, which includes Gebze, dates back to the 12th century BC. The Kocaeli Peninsula, the most important passage between the Asian and European continents, has been either the homeland of many nations or a place where they came and went and left traces of their civilizations. The first known national migration was made by the Phrygians in the early 12th century BC. The Phrygians, who came to the Peninsula via the Bosphorus, dispersed to Anatolia from there.
