The area around Akçakoyun, then named Agonya was an important ironworking center during the ancient ages. During the Turkish rule, originally a single settlement, it was split into two, namely Kalkım and Akçakoyun. In 1995, the settlement was declared a seat of township. Main economic sector of the town is fruit farming. Forestry, animal breeding and hunting tourism are other sectors.
