City Where The Sun Is Born SAMSUN Central District İLKADIM - Central Black Sea #9

Hello.
Today, we are in Ilkadım, the central district of Samsun, for our Central Black Sea series.
Have fun watching…
After the 1st World War, in order to disintegrate the Ottoman Empire and to save the invaded homeland from the invaders, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha set foot in Samsun on May 19, 1919 and started the National Struggle.
The first sentence of the story of the National Struggle, voiced by Atatürk, begins with "I went to Samsun on the 19th of May, 1919". May 19 is a start. It is the first step on the way to the goal of Atatürk, who has ideas and decisions.
ILKADIM is a region where such a historical step has been taken, and it takes its name from this step that changed the fate of Turkish history.
Samsun, which has a special position as it is the starting point of the process that started with Mustafa Kemal's departure to Samsun on 19 May 1919, which dates back to the establishment of Turkey, hosts the 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day. Based on this, it is introduced with the official slogan "The City Where the Sun Rises", and Samsun 19 May March is the official anthem of Samsun. On the other hand, it is also known as the "Capital of the Black Sea" and "Atatürk's City".
Ilkadım is the central district of Samsun on the Black Sea coast, with an altitude of 5 meters and a surface area of ​​152.28 square kilometers. At the same time, with a population of 340 thousand people, it is the most populous and most developed district of the Black Sea Region.
The district is adjacent to Canik in the east, Kavak in the south and Atakum in the west. To the north is the 7.5 km Black Sea coast.
The district is located between the Mert River in the east and the Kürtün Rivers in the west.
İlkadım has a generally temperate climate. The effects of the Black Sea climate are seen on the coastline. For this reason, summers on the coastline are hot, winters are warm and rainy. Due to the influence of the mountains in the interior, winters are cold, rainy and snowy, and summers are cool. It is unlike any other region in terms of temperature and precipitation. It is seen that the weather changes several times in the same day.
Although 47% of the lands of the province, whose economy was based on agriculture and animal husbandry in the first years of the Republic, are still used for agricultural purposes, today's economic activity is largely based on trade and industry, and the weight of agriculture and animal husbandry is gradually decreasing.
Samsun, which connects the Black Sea Region to the Central Anatolia Region by highways, is also a port city and a logistics point with its wide area.
Public and private sector investments in Samsun and its surroundings have encouraged population migration from other provinces over time, and the population has increased by 400% since the first census of the Republic period in 1927. In Samsun, which has a complex folkloric structure due to the migrations it has received, this structure is felt in areas related to folk culture such as language, folk dance and food.
Samsun, where it is possible to reach by sea, air and road, is connected to all of Turkey and Europe by four different state roads.
In air transport, direct flights are carried out periodically to eight cities in Germany, Austria and Kuwait, as well as Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir and Antalya.
Archaeological research and investigations carried out on the Dundar Tepe mound revealed that a civilization belonging to the Chalcolithic and Copper Ages lived.
The old name of the city is Amissa, which means "City of the Mother Goddess" in Luwian. In 670 BC, it was pronounced as Amisene by the Ionians to the region where it was colonized by the Miletos. This name has evolved into Amisou and Amisos over time.
The city, which came under the definitive rule of Roman Caesar in 47 BC, took its place in the history of religions as a bishopric center in the Eastern Roman period, which followed this domination and when Christianity spread.
After the 1071 Malazgirt Victory and the Anatolian gates were opened to the Turks, the city came under the control of Melik Danişment Gazi, one of the commanders in charge of the conquest of Anatolia, and the Principality founded by him. Çelebi joined the Ottoman administration in 1413 by the hand of Sultan Mehmet, and in 1427 it was on the map for the first time under the name Canik.
With the spread of tobacco cultivation and steamships operating in the Black Sea, in the 19th century, the city got rid of being a small pier in the Black Sea and started to develop economically and socially. In 1869, it had a great fire and almost all of it was burned to ashes, and houses were rebuilt along the streets and avenues according to the plan of an architect brought from France. Since it is a rich commercial center and city, it has managed to develop in a short time.
Mustafa Kemal Pasha's new life begins when he sets foot on the Anatolian land on the Samsun coast on the 19th of May 1919”.
