History of Başakşehir
Life began in Basakşehir before Istanbul.
Although modern buildings, facilities, and roads do not suggest this, the presence of the prehistoric Yarimburgaz Cave proves the existence of ancient life in this area.
Archaeological research has revealed that the area has a very ancient history and that the human presence in the Başakşehir region dates back to the prehistoric period.
Başakşehir is the first home of human communities, the first fishermen’s shelter, and the production area of the first agricultural community.
The Yarimburgaz Cave is of great importance in terms of world cultural history, as it contains traces of the oldest human life in Europe.
The presence of Lake Küçükçekmece and the flowing Lake Sazlıdere near the cave gives it the advantage of a natural refuge.
As a result of the excavations that were carried out in the Ispartakule area near the Yarimburgaz Cave, rock tombs dating back to the Roman era were found.
From Başakşehir and Kucukcekmece, Sultan Mehmet Khan crossed with a large army coming from Edirne on 23/03/1453 towards Istanbul and wiped out the Byzantine Empire.
The destruction, which began with the Ottoman-Russian war in the Basakşehir region with the Balkans during World War I, continued and its population increased with the wave of migration that occurred as a result of the war.
After the proclamation of the republic, most of the area was long run by the municipality of Bakırköy, and after 1987 some parts of the area were linked to the newly established Districts of büyükçekmece and Küçükçekmece.
On 06/03/2008 and in accordance with the provisions of Article 19 of the Law on the Establishment of Areas within the boundaries of the Municipality of the Capital, the Area of Başakşehir was established and the surrounding neighborhoods and villages were annexed to operate under its administration.
The economic situation of the Basaksehir region
There were many farms in Basaksehir, which were considered food warehouses for Istanbul, and supplied them with most of the food products such as vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, etc., and created many job opportunities.
As we mentioned earlier, a lot of food was grown in the area in addition to beekeeping and livestock such as sheep, goats, cows, buffaloes, and camels.
After the declaration of the Turkish Republic, the largest industrial zone was established in Basaksehir, and the region witnessed rapid development in conjunction with the launch of the Basaksehir collective housing project launched by the Istanbul Municipality.
In addition to the population growth brought in by the industry, there have been periods when the region has leaped in the field of collective housing.
Başakşehir covers large distances in a short time by building residential and commercial projects, recreational and social facilities, and service and government projects, becoming one of the cities to be taken as an example of its modern appearance.
