The history of Manisa goes back to the Paleolithic Age. Ancient sources point to Magnets who lived around Mount Pelion in the Thessaly Region of today's Greece as the founders of the city. When Magnets migrated to Western Anatolia, they first established Magnesia on the banks of the Menderes River, and a branch going further north, Magnesia at the foot of Mount Sipylos.
