The population of the town is 4520 [1] as of 2011. The area around Çağlayan was inhabited during the ancient ages. But Çağlayan is a relatively recent settlement. In 1946 owing to its situation along the valley, it was founded as a common market place of the neighbouring villages. It quickly flourished and In 1969 it was declared a seat of township.[2] The economy of the town depends on agriculture. Lately kiwifruit production is promoted.
