History

In the 19th century, much of the land around Avcıkoru belonged to the Bezmialem Valide Sultan Foundation.[4]

In 1879, imperial authorities proposed settling refugees from the Circassian genocide in the area, despite objections from some local residents. In 1880, refugees from Berta in the Livane district of Batum (modern Ortaköy, Artvin) also applied to settle in the area. Limited settlement of refugees with some imperial assistance took place starting in 1881. However, assistance was not effective or sufficient, with deaths from starvation reported in 1887.[5]
