The capital city Trabzon was founded, as Trapezus, by Greek colonists from Sinop. An important Roman and Byzantine centre, it was the capital of the Empire of Trebizond from 1204 to 1461. Trabzon was made part of the Ottoman Empire by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1461. It was initially a sanjak then gained the status of eyalet and finally became a vilayet in 1868.

The province was a site of major fighting between Ottoman and Russian forces during Caucasus Campaign of World War I which resulted in capture of the city of Trabzon by Russian army under command of Grand Duke Nicholas and Nikolai Yudenich in April 1916. The province returned under Turkish control in 1918 following the end of the war.
