Esenyurt: The Prestigious Residential District in Istanbul

 

Established in the early 19th century, Esenyurt was initially planned on the grounds of a vast farm owned by Ekrem Ömer Paşa. In the period between 1920 to 1938, Romans and Bulgarian migrated to the central regions and settled in its northern part. In 1967, the name “Esenyurt” was adopted from the words Esen meaning happy or healthy, and Yurt meaning home, altogether signifying a healthy and happy home.
