History

The club was founded in 2015 under the name Cukurova Basketbol Mersin. In 2020 the team was rebranded to CBK Mersin. The club joined the KSBL for the 2017/2018 season. Grine had left the league prior to the beginning of the 2017 season. After competing in the play-off semi finals in their first season, the club played in the play-off finals against Fenerbahçe in the 2018–19 season. The club lost to Fenerbahçe in the finals, but qualified to compete in EuroLeague Women in the 2019–20 season. On January 22, 2020, a partnership was established with the Yenişehir Municipality, and the club's name was changed to ÇBK Mersin Yenişehir Belediyesi. This partnership played a significant role in the club's rise. Before the 2023-24 season, the name was changed to Çukurova Basketbol Kulübü Mersin (shortly Ç.B.K. Mersin). In late January 2025, as a result of the sponsorship agreement with ÇİMSA, the team's name became ÇİMSA ÇBK Mersin.
