Hellenistik Dönem’de merkezi Uzuncaburç’un 4 km. doğusundaki Olba Territoriumu’nun ibadet yeri olan bugünkü Uzuncaburç yerleşim yeri, Roma Dönemi’nde, 72 yılında İmparator Vespesianus zamanında Olba’dan ayrılarak Diokaesareia (Tanrı-İmparator Kenti) adıyla özerk, kendi adına para basan kent durumuna gelmiştir. Bizans Dönemi’nin ardından Türkler buraya şehrin sembolü olan yüksek burcun (Hellenistik Kule’nin) ismini vererek “Uzuncaburç” demişlerdir.
