Bartın
Bartın is a city in northern Turkey, near the Black Sea. It is the seat of Bartın Province and Bartın District. Its population is 81,692 (2021).
Formerly a district of Zonguldak Province, Bartın was made into a province seat in 1991. The city is situated 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) inland on the Bartın River (Bartın Çayı) that is navigable for vessels between the city and the Black Sea coast. Bartın River is the only navigable river for vessels in Turkey.
The history of the antique Parthenios city (Παρθένιος in Greek), or Parthenia, dates back to 1200 BC, when its area was inhabited by the Kaskian tribe. In the following centuries, the region had entered under the dominance of Hittites, Phrygians, Cimmerians, Lydians, Greeks, and Persians. Later, it was part of the Roman Empire and then of the Byzantine Empire, until it fell to the Seljuk Turks and the Candaroğulları State between the 11th and the 13th centuries AD. Bartın was conquered by the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II in 1460. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Bartın was part of the Kastamonu Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire.
Bartın is the administrative centre of Bartın Province and the largest urban settlement in the province. The city has experienced gradual population growth through its role as a regional centre for administration, education, commerce, and services.
As the provincial capital, Bartın serves surrounding towns and rural communities and concentrates a significant proportion of the provincial population within the urban area.
The economy of Bartın is based on services, trade, manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, and tourism. Historically, the city benefited from its location on the Bartın River, which facilitated transportation and commerce between the interior and the Black Sea coast.
Forestry and wood-processing industries have traditionally played an important role in the local economy due to the extensive forested areas surrounding the city. Agriculture remains significant in rural parts of the province, while tourism has grown in importance through the development of coastal destinations and natural attractions.
