History

Pogla is mentioned by Ptolemy,{{cite Ptolemy|V, 5}} and possibly by Hierocles,{{cite Hierocles|689, 4.}} where he speaks of a town called Socla (Σώκλα) in Pamphylia,{{cite encyclopedia|entry=Pogla|author=Sophrone Pétridès|encyclopedia=Catholic Encyclopedia|location=New York|year=1911}} perhaps a manuscript corruption.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K4EOAAAAQAAJ&dq=Pogla+Pamphylia&pg=PA298|author=John Anthony Cramer|title=A Geographical and Historical Description of Asia Minor|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=1832|volume=2|page=298}} The town's name after antiquity came to be Fugla, and was then changed to Çomaklı in the modern period.{{Cite journal|last=Mitchell|first=Stephen|date=1994|title=Three Cities in Pisidia|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3642987|journal=Anatolian Studies|volume=44|pages=144|doi=10.2307/3642987|jstor=3642987|s2cid=162414295 |issn=0066-1546|url-access=subscription}}
