Çanakkale province is located on the north-western part of the Republic of Turkey, with a majority of its territory within the Marmara Region and a part of the Aegean Region lying between 25 ° 40 '- 27 ° 30' east longitudes and 39 ° 27 '- 40 ° 45' north latitudes of 9.887 km² A land covered in Asia (Anatolia) and Europe (Thrace), covering an area, divided into two with its own throat.
Baba Burnu, the westernmost point of Anatolia and İncirburnu province in Gökçeada, the westernmost point of Turkey, are within the borders of the province. The largest islands of Turkey in the Aegean Sea, Bozcaada and Gökçeada, are connected to the province of Çanakkale. 2010 According to TUIK data, there are 12 districts, 22 towns and 565 villages with the central district.
In the first years of the Republic of Canakkale, the removal of the Biga and Gelibolu banners and the Çanak village in the middle of both proved to be a province. In the 1927 census, the central population of Canakkale was only 8,500 people. It is known that in the ancient times, the hill, which is also called Hellespontos and Dardanelles, has been inhabited since 3000 years. The ancient city of Troy (Troy, Troy), which still survives today, was destroyed by a great earthquake in 2500 BC and the region was ruled by the Lydians for many years. Milacan was greatly damaged on the shores of the Greater Iskender Granikos Stream (Biga Stream), which was intended to spread the Persian Empire Hellenism to the whole world, which had become the most important force in the region in 336 BC. With the demolition of the Karesioğulları Beylik in the Ottoman period, a large part of the present land of the province was seized. Thanks to Byzantine, the conquest of the province became easier and the control with the Straits passed through the Ottoman State.
When you look at the whole territory of Çanakkale, the peninsula on which it is founded is called the Biga Peninsula. The most remarkable elevation in the province is the Biga Mountains. The reason for the so-called use of Biga name is that it was the Biga district of Sancagun in the Ottoman administrative system before the Republican era. In other words, the old center of the province is Biga and in the Republican era, the province name and center were changed to Çanakkale because of the successes gained. The origin of the name is based on the pottery craft which is very developed in the region. Kale-i Sultaniye, which became the two symbols of the city, was named as Çanakkale when it became associated with the poaching.
Although Çanakkale and many settlements are rich in terms of historical and natural beauty, the region attracts quite a few tourists. Almost every place around the city center has been declared a protected area. This is one of the main reasons why Çanakkale can not grow. Many areas are settled off.
