Wheat, dough and rye are grown in the village.

According to Mr. Ozdemir Ozbay (Ismeyl)'s work named "The Circassian Ethnography in Middle and New Age"; it is said that Yeniyapan is founded by Sydi (or Sidi) family after the Great Exodus on 1864. The Circassian name of our village is Sidkit (Sydkit).

Many people from our family still live in our hometown.
