Places to visit in Beylikduzu

• Beylikduzu

It is assumed that the Hellenes were the first to settle in Beylikduzu in the 7th century BC.

Beylikduzu, one of the distinguished towns of Buyukcekmece, which came under the rule of the Byzantine Empire in the 2nd century BC, was connected to the Ottoman Empire after the conquest of Istanbul.

Beylikduzu, which is a summer and agricultural region, was the accommodation of the armies during the Byzantine Empire and Ottoman periods, so there were not many settlements in the region. 

The old name of Beylikduzu is "Gardan", which means garden.

Although the region has hosted different civilizations at different times in history, when we look at the recent history, the traces of the Greeks are seen in Beylikduzu, especially in 1924.

The Greeks living in the region entered into a population exchange with the Turks living in Greece after the War of Independence.

Turks who came to the region because of the exchange began to settle.

The Turks who settled in the region were generally engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing activities.

Upon the departure of most of the Greeks, a new name was given to the region, and the village  was named "KAVAKLI" due to the abundance of poplar trees that kept up with the natural climate of the town.

Within the scope of the administrative organization of the Republic of Turkey, which was established in 1924, Catalca became a province.

It consists of the provinces of Catalca, Silivri and Buyukcekmece.

Buyukcekmece district of Catalca does not have a township and has 19 villages.

Anarsa "Gurpinar", "Gardan Kavakli", Tirakatya "Yakuplu" and Karvan, which make up today's Beylikduzu District, are among these villages.

On June 26, 1926,Catalca District was made.

Buyukcekmece, which was a township of Catalca District until 1958, became a municipality on February 19, 1958.

With the decision published in the Official Gazette dated July 4, 1987 and numbered 19507, it became Buyukcekmece District.

The towns of Kavakli, Gurpinar and Yakuplu, which make up today's Beylikduzu district,  have become the villages of this district.

With the decision published in the Official Gazette dated December 31, 1987 and numbered 19681, Gurpinar became a Municipality.

With the decision published in the Official Gazette No. 21775 dated December 1, 1993, Kavakli and Yakuplu became municipalities.

The name of Kavakli Municipality was changed to Beylikduzu Municipality with the Decision of the Council of Ministers No. 10.12.2002 / 2002/4962.

The reason why the name "Kavakli" was changed to "Beylikduzu" is that Beylikduzu was a flat area where the Ottoman Beys hunted and rested during the Ottoman period, so the name Beylikduzu, which evokes both the Ottoman Beys and the geographical structure of the region, was given by the rulers of the period.

With the decision published in the Official Gazette dated March 22, 2008 and numbered 26824, Beylikduzu became a district, Yakuplu and Gurpinar Municipalities were abolished and joined Beylikduzu Municipality and became Beylikduzu District.
