Bozkurt, Denizli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bozkurt is a town and a rural district of Denizli Province in the Aegean region of Turkey, on a plain 52 km east of the city of Denizli. The altitude is 866.8 m, and the area is around 400 km². The population (2000 census) is 11,708 of which 7,671 live in the small town of Bozkurt itself (with the remainder in surrounding countryside).
This is high country inland from the Aegean and Mediterranean, and has hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters.
During the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) refugees from Bulgaria were settled on the plain, which was then known as Hambat after a Seljuk Turkish caravanserai that stood here. Immigration from Bulgaria continued until recent times.
This is an agricultural district, with irrigation systems currently being constructed.
