History[edit]

The town is named after a local Turkish chieftain during the Ottoman era named Karaca Bey. The former name of the town was Mihalich[4] (Turkish: Mihaliç), after which a cheese was named, while its ancient name was Miletopolis (Greek: Μιλητόπολις). Miletopolis was apparently the chief settlement of a group of people called the Milatæ, whose name was hellenized to suggest a Milesian colony. Its people colonized Gargara.[5]

Miletopolis was a suffraganofCyzicus until the 12th or 13th century. Around the end of the twelfth century, it was united with Lopadium as an archbishopric.[5] There are two historical mosques in Karacabey, one being from the 14th century.

From 1867 until 1922, Mihaliç was part of Hüdavendigâr vilayet.
