==History==
Archaeological excavations were launched in ''Gavur Kalesi'', a castle situated in the village of Dereköy, in the years 1930 and 1998. The results showed that it was an important [[Phrygians|Phrygian]] settlement. Besides, the tumuli located in Türkhöyük and Oyaca villages prove that the area was also inhabited during the [[Hittites|Hittite]] period.<ref name="mun">{{cite web|url=http://www.haymana.bel.tr/haymana.html |title=Brief history of Haymana |access-date=2008-03-27 |author=Municipality of Haymana, Turkey |language=tr |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140801134255/http://www.haymana.bel.tr/haymana.html |archive-date=August 1, 2014 }}</ref>

After the periods of the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] rule, the area was captured by the [[Seljuk Turks]] in 1127. After the [[Battle of Köse Dağ]] it came under [[Ilkhanate]] control for a while. In the mid 14th century the area was annexed by the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]]. After a brief period of [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] rule in the wake of the [[Battle of Ankara]] in 1402, it was re-captured by the Ottomans.<ref name="mun" />
