ÇARŞAMBA İLÇESİNİN TARİHÇESİ

-Çarşamba ilçesi geçmişte Canik Beyliklerinin merkezi idi. Bu beyliklerin içinde en kuvvetlisi olan Tacettinoğullarıdır. Bugünkü İlçenin yerinde bulunan Sarıcalı mahallesinde ikamet etmekteydiler. İlk defa 1370 yılında Sarıcalı Mahallesi ve Kuş Doğanlı köylerinin bulunduğu mevkide büyük bir panayır kurulmuş, Çarşamba günü olması nedeni ile bu panayıra Çarşamba Panayırı denilmiştir. Bu pazaryeri sonradan değişmiş ve adı tüm ovaya verilmiş olup, 600 yıldan beri tüm ovanın adı olarak anılmıştır.

-Çok eski zamanlarda, Çarşamba ovasının bataklık olmadığı devirlerde , efsanevi Amazonların bulunduğu söylenmektedir. Amazonlar devletini geçindirebilecek verimliliğe sahip olan ova, daha sonradan sel felaketlerine uğramış ve bataklık haline gelmiştir. Böylece Amazonlarla birlikte ova, insanlar için öneme haiz coğrafi ve tarihi bir bölge olmaktan çıkar. M.Ö Yunanlıların Amisos’a yerleşmesi ile Çarşamba ovası tarih sahnesine tekrar çıkar.

-Çarşamba tarihinden bahsederken Amisos’a değinmeden geçmek mümkün değildir. Çünkü Çarşamba Amisos’un sınırları içerisinde yer almaktadır. Bugünkü Samsun’un batı ve kuzey batısında kalyon burnunu teşkil eden sırtın üzerinde Kara Samsun denilen harabelerini gördüğümüz Amisos’un ilk kuruluşu ve tarihi ile ilgili bilgilerimiz çok sınırlıdır. Samsun’u çeviren ve yakın zamanlarda ele alınmış olan höyükler daha yeni yeni açılmaya başlanılmış ve sakladıkları sırları henüz ortaya çıkartılamamıştır. Bununla beraber Eti Medeniyetinin buralara kadar uzandığına dair şüphe olmadığına göre,Amisos’un Etiler tarafında ( Yunanlılar tarafından olmayıp) kurulduğu kuvvetle muhtemeldir. Şu halde Yunanlıların Karadeniz’e gelmelerinden çok daha önceleri Amisos önemli bir yerleşim yeridir.

-Şehrin ogünkü sınırları ‘Strabon'a göre aynen şöyle tarif edilmekteydi. Şehir; "Sinop’tan 90 stat uzaklıkta Kızılırmak ağızlarının ötekisine dahildir. Şehir bereketli, zengin ve pek çok köy ve kasabalarla örtülü bir bölgede bulunmaktadır."

-Görüldüğü gibi Amisos bereketli toplarlar üzerinde kurulmuştur. Batıda Kızılırmak, Doğuda Terme ve Güneyde Canik sıradağları ile çevrili olduğunu ve o zamanlarda ovanın gayet verimli olup bataklık olmadığını anlarız .(Amasya’da doğmuş olan Strabon'un doğum yerine çok yakın olan Çarşamba hakkında yanılgıya düşürüldüğüne ihtimal veremeyiz.) O Çarşamba ovasını bütün Amisosu besleyebilecek kadar verimli bir ova diye tarif etmiştir. Öyleyse bahsedilen felaket Amisos’un kuruluşundan ve Strabon'dan çok sonraları meydana gelmiştir.

-Yunanlılar, buralardan sömürgeler kurmuşlardır. Bunların birine ‘ İRİS ‘ diğerine de ‘MİRİKA’ derlerdi. Söylentilere göre Mirika Çarşambanın güneyindeki ‘Kurşunlu oymağı ‘idi. Bu günkü Çarşamba’nın civarında ozamandan kalma duvar, suyolu ve havuz kalıntılarına rastlanılmaktadır.

-Canik içine giren Çarşamba toprakları uzun yıllar Canik beyliklerinin merkezi idi .

- Alpaslan’ın 1071 Malazgirt zaferinden sonra Danişmendoğulları yöredeki nüfuslarını genişleterek Canik’ten başlayıp Tokat, Amasya ve Kastamonu’ya kadar geniş bir sahayı ellerine geçirmişlerdir. En kuvvetli devirleri 1071-1774 tarihleri arasına rastlar

-Canik’te yaşayan diğerTürk beyliklerinden birisi de Tacettinoğlardır. İlçemiz, 794 Rumi de Tokat, Sivas ve Canik Osmanlı devletine katılmıştır
