History

Near the town is a well-preserved, rectangular fortified estate house (keep) built in the 12th or 13th century during the period of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. The upper level has eight embrasured loopholes for archers. This was one of the many sites that guarded a route between the Mediterranean Sea and the Hetʽumid stronghold of Çandır Castle (Papeṙōn).[2] The fortress as well as the small village was named Belenkeşlik. For many years, Belenkeşlik was used as a yayla (summer resort of Mersin citizens). During the second half of the 20th century the population of the village increased and the village was declared township in 1997.[3]

Economy

Although the mountains around Soğucak are covered with pine forests, there is enough agricultural land for the Soğucak residents. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the main products. House rental services during summers and animal husbandry are also pronounced activities.
