Before the First World War, Apchağa lived its golden period. The commercial life has reached a very bright period, the village has become a settlement area of 750-800 households, the village has gained a small city vitality by continuing its commercial activities with 50 workshops, 4 sarrafs, 5 bakeries and 1 bath. With the onset of expatriation, commercial life has entered a period of stagnation, and those old splendid years have passed. Apçağa, which served as a subdistrict of Eğin until 1850, was assigned the administrative center of Saricicek Villages. At that time, there were 2 women in the region. One of them is Apçağa Kadısı (DGM of today). Many educated people grew up from the village and these were scattered all over the country. The mosque, which is one of the cultural assets of the village, was built by Malkoç Ağa in 1627 and its minaret was later built by Dayı Ağa in 1694. Since this mosque could not meet the need in time, it was rebuilt in 1853 with the common appearance of the village people with its current appearance. The mosque, whose ceilings are very high, is decorated with carving art that is not found in any village of the surrounding area, and attracts attention with its wooden appearance.
