The town (as well as the creek of the town) is named after Polemon, a governor of Ordu and vicinity during the Roman Empire era. But the town itself was founded in the 19th century. In 1966 it was declared a seat of township.[6] A small Byzantine fortification with an attached chapel was converted into an Ottoman-period residence.[7]
