Ağaçören
The borders of the district were used as a settlement area by the Hittites in the 3-4th century BC, and later remained within the Cappadocia region during the Byzantine period. The finds belonging to these times were obtained from Taşkale and Church localities within the borders of the district. After 1071, the Oghuz and earlier Pechenegs began to settle in the region. Afterwards, they remained dependent on the Anatolian Seljuks. With the collapse of this state, Karamanids dominated the region and later they were under the domination of Kadı Burhaneddin Principality. The region, which did not see much activity during the Ottoman period, was not invaded by the enemy during the armistice period. However, it received a large number of immigrants from the occupied regions. Panlı was the only township of Aksaray from 1920 to 1933, but when Aksaray was made a district, it was connected to Ankara. The name of the district was changed to Ağaçören in 1961.
