Yalıköy was historically a Greek town named Potima. During the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 that followed the Greco-Turkish War (1919–22), around 60 Turkish families from Greece were settled in the homes of exchanged Greeks.

A local production facility of Şişecam mines silicon as raw material for the glass industry. Another local facility operated by the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) use Yalıköy sand in water purification.
