Although the exact date of foundation of Vakfıkebir is not known, it is a very old settlement.
Vakfikebir, which has been under the domination of the Hittite, Persian, Roman and Trabzon Empires throughout its history, came under the rule of the Ottoman Empire after Fatih Sultan Mehmet destroyed the Trabzon Empire in 1461.
After the conquest of Trabzon, Turkish tribes from different parts of the Ottoman Empire settled in Vakfikebir.
Vakfikebir became a Turkish homeland in a very short time as a result of the incoming tribes adopting new settlements and carrying their cultures to the region.
Vakfikebir, which was exposed to various administrative levels and names after it joined the borders of Ottoman Turkey, became a district of Trabzon province in 1874 within the framework of the Ottoman Province Law of 1864.
The district was occupied by the Russian Tsardom on 20 July 1916 and was saved from the enemy occupation by our heroic army on 14 February 1918.
The period under occupation is known as 'Immigration' among the people and the Independence Day is commemorated with ceremonies on 14 February every year.

The part between Fener Cape to the east of Vakfikebir and Zeytin Burnu to the west is a natural harbor partially closed to the shoreline.

Vakıfkebir got its current name from the mother of Yavuz Sultan Selim, Gülbahar Hatun.
Gulbahar Hatun, who traveled from Istanbul to Trabzon by sea to see her son, Prince Selim, who was the Governor of Trabzon at that time, was caught in a great storm, and she devoted herself to dedicating the lands she would land on to God if she survived.
Gulbahar Hatun, who set foot on the land in the settlement center, which was then called Büyükliman, dedicates these lands.
Since the donor was the wife of the sultan, the name of the region became Vakfıkebir (Great Foundation) after this date.
Although the name of Vakfıkebir has a history of five hundred years, the names Fol and Büyükliman are still used among the people.
