The city was most probably founded by Antiochus I Soter as a military base. The first inhabitants of Antioch of Pisidia were the settlers brought from Magnesia on the Meander. Among the settlers of the population, there were many Jews. It is believed that the city was founded in the area of an earlier Greek settlement.


In the 70s of the 3rd century BCE, the Celtic tribe of Galatians arrived in Asia Minor. In 275 BCE, Antiochus I Soter defeated them in a battle, as he surprised the Galatians by using war elephants. The Galatians were then pushed to the areas where they later established their own state, known as Galatia, in the central region of Asia Minor.
