The village of Sarıdere in Gölyaka, Düzce, was founded in 1850. It is believed to have taken its name from the yellow leaves falling into the stream that runs through the village. Initially, a large portion of the village's population consisted of Circassians, and it was commonly referred to as "Circassian Sarıdere." However, over time, the demographic structure changed significantly, and the number of Circassian citizens decreased considerably, so only the name Sarıdere became commonly used.

In its more distant history, Sarıdere was known as "SARDERE" among the locals. The Armenian word "SAR" (սար) means mountain, and some people describe it as a combination of this Armenian word and the Ottoman Turkish word "DERE" (دره), meaning "stream" or "river" flowing between two valleys. It is also thought that Sarıdere was named this way because it is surrounded by mountains, and was also referred to as Dağköyü or Dağdere.
