During the Republican era, the population of the village increased and consequently it became a seat of township in 1963. In 1999 Erenler suffered from the İzmit earthquake. Soon after the disaster, the town continued its growth, and it merged to the province capital. However, in 2008 it became an ilçe (district) center of Sakarya Province.[3]
