The population of Yeniceköy was 11359 [1] as of 2012. Although no document exists about the history of the settlement, the ruins of a historical hamam (Turkish bath) suggest that the history of the town goes back to 15th century. Probably there was a sizeable Armenian population in the past. In the early years of the 20th century Turkish migrants from Bulgaria, Greece and Georgia settled in Yeniceköy.[2] In 1956 the settlement was declared a seat of township. Most of the town residents work in the factories around Yeniceköy and İnegöl.
