Fishing and hazelnut production are carried out. The sub-industry of Erdemir Iron and Steel is also one of the livelihoods of this place. Workers make up most of its population. There are yarn and hazelnut factories in the district.
While the district was a sub-district of Zonguldak-Düzce highway between Ereğli-Akçakoca and connected to Ereğli District, it became a district in 1987. Ereğli is expected to be a province these days. If Ereğli becomes a province, Alaplı will be removed from Zonguldak and become a district of Ereğli.
Bölüklü Plateau and Honey Festival has been held since 2010 in Bölüklü Plateau, which is located within the borders of Gümeli Town, which is located within the borders of the district. There is a yew tree over 4,100 years old, which was found in the laboratory environment on the plateau. This tree is one of the 5 oldest trees in the world.
In 1851, Alaplı was the district of the Bolu Sanjak of the Kastamonu Province. The districts were managed by the notables at that time. Yazıcı Zade Hüseyin Bey, who constantly clashes with Istanbul, is prosecuted by the government on the pretext of tithe revenues, and he is convicted by the Majlis-i Vala-yı Ahkam-ı Adliye and it is decided to be exiled to another place.
The prepared document is approved by the Ottoman Sultan of that period, Abdülmecid I. Yazıcı Zade Hüseyin Bey is removed from Alalplı after a short time. Most likely, though not certain, this removal will be to Pristina, Yugoslavia. After Yazici Zade Hüseyin Bey finished his duty here, he returned to his hometown Alaplı via Gallipoli.
During the Ottoman period, Topkapı Palace and the Old Palace were heated with Alaplı wood. The ships of the Ottoman Naval Navy were made of wood cut from the Orhan Mountains in Alaplı and the mountains connected to this mountain range. The woods cut from the Orhan Mountains and the mountains connected to this mountain range are lowered to Alaplı by cars and waterways, where they are divided into timber and woodshed. Most of them were transported to Istanbul by sea.
While this intense commercial relationship in the past put the balances in the region into a delicate situation, it also brought with it a secret conflict between the people who ruled Alaplı and Istanbul. It has always been a problem between the buyer and the seller that the wood business is difficult and brings good income. In order to overcome these problems, the Istanbul Government has periodically published biographies.
It is known that Greeks and Armenians lived in the center of Alaplı in the past. While Muslims and local people call it Alaplı, the Greeks named Alaplı as Samakol. While the Armenians were engaged in craftsmanship, the Greeks were engaged in trade in the region.
As the region is weak in terms of historical artifacts, it has not been able to raise great personalities who have gone down in history. Their customs and traditions are traditional and their folkloric elements are weak. It sheds light on the environment after the Seljuks and Ottomans. The names of the villages connected to Alaplı are named after the sergeants, artisans, imams and sheiks in the Ottoman Army.
The name Alaplı is mentioned in different ways throughout history. Alaplı may seem meaningless at first in terms of word structure. But when the history of the region is examined a little, there is a tendency that the name Alaplı comes from Ali Alp Bey, one of the commanders of the Ottoman Sultan Orhan Bey. It is known that the names of the regions of Akçakoca, Karamürsel and Konuralp, which are close to Alaplı, come from the names of the commanders of Orhan Bey. These commanders added Sakarya, Düzce, Akçakoca and Alaplı regions to the Ottoman principality by the order of Osman Bey's son Orhan Bey. For this reason, it is highly likely that the name Alaplı comes from Ali Alp.
There is another possibility related to the name of the district. The first known settlers of the district are the Genoese. It is known that the horses used in the conquest of Hereklea by Orhan Gazi in 1326 were "Al" in color and that's why the district was called Alatlı. Over time, the name Alatlı became Alaplı. It is said that the people of the district originally came from the curly neck of the Karamanoğulları.
The women of the Turkish tribes settled in the Alaplı region, which joined the Ottoman lands, farmed in the countryside and sold the fruits and vegetables they grew to the Armenians and Greeks living in Alaplı. The Turkish tribes, who went to the center to sell their goods, did not let their women into the bazaar, they were divided into the 'women's market' and left them where only Greek and Armenian women shopped. This tradition still continues today. Village women sell the fruit and vegetables they grow in their garden on Wednesdays during the week in the area located in the old market place.
