Manaua, which was the episcopal office in Notitias, was mentioned since the 6th century, and was last seen in 1199 in the form of Manavğat (Armenian), and remained as an administrative unit during the Ottoman period. Today's district center was formed by the merging of Pazarcı and Dusenbe villages on opposite sides of the Manavgat river.[4] It is thought that the ancient cities of Side (Selimiye Village) and Selge (Altınkaya Village) were founded in the 6th century BC. Manavgat was under the rule of the Seljuk Empire in 1220 and the Ottoman Empire in 1472. Sultan Alaattin Keykubat named the city he conquered in 1221 as Alaiyye.
