In the Middle Ages, Oba was the capital of Alaiye Beylik. In 1934, a part of Oba was issued from the main settlement to form the Çıplaklı village. In 1999, Oba was declared a seat of township.[5] The main crops of the town are citrus and dwarf apple. Being very close to Alanya, services to the city are also a part of the town's economy.
