Its distance to Ulubey is 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) and to Uşak is 36 kilometres (22 mi) [3] There are some Lydian ruins around Kışla. But there is no written document about the ancient history of the village . The oldest mosque in the village was built around 1730s. Probably the Turkmens used the village as a winter settlement and named it Kışlak meaning winter settlement of the nomads. The village was declared a town (belde) by establishing a municipality in 1999. But at the 2013 Turkish local government reorganisation the municipality was disestablished.[4]
