Bayport, it remained under the Kingdom of Pontus until the 1940s. The area ruled by Ortartus, the Umayyads and the Byzantines BC. In the seventh century it was flooded by the Scythians and Cimmerians. It remained under the rule of the Scythian Turks, also known as the Saka, until the Haldion came under their rule. It is possible to talk about a 5000-year-old Turk presence in the area. Bayburt, which passed under the rule of the Seljuks in 1054, later became under the rule of Akuyunlu and the Safavids. Bayburt, which later joined the Ottoman lands, became a province in 1989. The forest area occupies a very small area as a result of unconscious cutting and human and natural disasters. The Bayport people live by farming and raising livestock in fertile lands, especially in the Sonor and Hart plains. However, the insufficient infrastructure of the plains for irrigation prevents the proper use of the fertile soil. The products with the highest yields are listed as wheat, barley, lentils, sugar beet and potatoes.
