Günyüzü became a bucak (subdistrict) in 1932 and gained the status of a district in 1990.
It was in constant interaction with Sivrihisar during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. It was the scene of important conflicts during the War of Independence and the historical richness of the region became more evident with the excavations.[5]
