As the historical books on Izmir Province are studied, it is seen that ‘The River Meles’ have been frequently mentioned. The river preserving its importance from Ancient Ages to the $20^{th}$ century, have been discussed by the writers as the ‘holy river’ and the name Homers have been mentioned with the river. In the $19^{th}$ century, the River Meles preserved its importance as a river that the voyagers visited and the commercial accesses intersected. In the $20^{th}$ century, the river was overwhelmed by urbanization, surrounded by the squatter houses and the industrial buildings and its water has been polluted; besides, by being involved in a channel, it does not look like a stream.
