The town was famous for the grapes and mulberries that grew in the area. The city was known as Arabraces during Byzantine rule.

In 1836, some 1,000 looms in Arapgir were weaving cotton goods from British yarn and by 1907, some 1,200. Durability and color fastness of locally made manusa textile also retained its competitive position.
