History
Even though Küçükçekmece’s history could be traced back to prehistoric times with the information gathered from the Yarımburgaz Cave, it wasn’t able to gain its power until the 1950s. During Roman rule over Istanbul, there was a town called Rhegion located in the center of today’s Küçükçekmece. The importance of this town was that the renowned road Via Egnatia passed through this settlement, connecting Constantinople to the western world. Due to its strategic importance, this town was invaded and raided many times throughout Roman times. After the conquest of Constantinople, Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror ordered families to settle in this region and repair its roads, houses, and bridges, serving as a small village that depended on fishing, husbandry, and agriculture. Küçükçekmece saw its rise in 1950 with its beaming industrial power.
