Cavusin Village is located between the towns of Avanos and Goreme, in a valley which has gradually become wider. The village contained many Christian Orthodox families by the beginning of 20th century.The houses were actively used until 1924 when the population exchange happened between Greeks and Turks. All Turkish Muslims citizens in Greece had to move out from Greece while about 1.2 million Christians left Turkey because of the same population compulsory according to officials.
The people coming from Greece were taken into the homes of Greek villagers who left their villages. As there were fewer immigrants to the village than local residents, most houses sat vacant and unoccupied. Unfortunately, these abandoned houses faced decades of neglect as no one was around to repair them as they stood unused on the outskirts of town. The government eventually evacuated the entire village in 1950s after a landslide due to falling rocks. The government evacuated the entire village and subsidized the new houses on the safer plateau area.
