For a long term Vona was part of the Roman Empire and its successors the Byzantine Empire and Empire of Trebizond. This generation ended in 1461 while Trebizond became overturned by way of Sultan Mehmet II and Vona become delivered into the Ottoman Empire, even though there has been a Turkish network in the town before this date.
