One of the most important factors about the development of cities is their connection with the other cities. Şebinkarahisar road was the most important road for Giresun region in the second half of the 19th century. It was the only connection of Giresun and its neighborhood with Central Anatolia. Having realized the fact the Ottoman government decided to build new roads and repair the old ones in the region. During that period sea lines were the most important communication of Giresun region with outside. Some domestic and foreign maritime line companies opened agencies in the city. In addition to these an attempt to build a railway in the region was proved to be unsuccessful.
