According to known written documents, Sapanca, which is mentioned as a settlement with the arrival of the Phrygians in the region in 1200 BC, was truly established by the Kingdom of Bithynia in 378 BC. The name Siphonensis Lacus was first used in a Laz language source from 391 AD. During the Eastern Roman Empire, it was known as Buanes, Sofhan, and Sofhange.
