History of Bakırköy dates back to Byzantium times. Bakırköy was named as Hebdomon and had very important buildings built in Byzantium period.

Campus Martis (Cantonment), Campus Tribunals (Courthouse), Jucundiaena (Palace of Pleasure) and Church of St. John Baptist the Forerunner can be given as an example to important buildings which were located in Hebdemon. In Ottoman period, Bakırköy continued to be an important district and name changed to Makriköy. The district became a favourite summer resort for Sultans and other ruler class which caused many large houses to build during Ottoman period.

Once, Russian Army arrived to Ayestefanos after famous 1977-78 Russia-Ottoman Empire Wars during which Istanbul was about to fall so Sultan had to ask for peace. After all, an agreement which had very hard conditions for Ottomans signed by two sides. This battle dominated history of Balkans.
