Kocasinan

Kocasinan district does not have an independent historical structure. Because it was born from the body of Kayseri city, it is in the historical structure of Kayseri province. For this reason, the historical structure of the district should be considered within the historical structure of the city center. The city of Kayseri is in the region called Cappadocia in classical times. Hittite city-states dominated in 2000-1750. Later (1200-700 BC) Late Hittite Period comes. B.C. Median and Persian domination begins in 600-500 years. Later, Alexander and Diadocs dominate the region. After the death of Alexander, the Anatolian lands are shared among the Diadoks. After Kayseri became the center of the Independent Kingdom of Cappadocia, this Kingdom became ruled by Rome. After the division of the Roman Empire into two in 395, the region within the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire has preserved its importance until today. While it was in the hands of the Byzantines, it was captured by Arab commanders for short periods from the 7th century. The city, which was conquered by the Seljuks after the 1071 Malazgirt Victory, passed into the hands of Emir Gazi from the Danişmentliler in 1127. Kılıçarslan, one of the Anatolian Seljuks, took the city back from the Danişmentliler in 1176, gained importance during the time of Alaattin Keykubat, and became the second capital of the Seljuks after Konya. The city, which was exposed to the Ilkhanate attacks in 1244, was administered by the Mongol-Ilkhanid governors, and it became the center of the principality in 1343 after Emir Eretna established a large principality in Kayseri. We see the Kadi Burhanettin Principality in 1381. With the death of Kadı Burhanettin in 1398, the principality lost its importance, and Yıldırım Beyazıt from the Ottomans took the city under his dominion by agreement. Kayseri, which was the liva of Karaman during the reign of Mahmut II, was subordinate to Yozgat in 1846 and to Ankara in 1867. Kayseri became an independent sanjak after the declaration of the 2nd Constitutional Monarchy. There is an archaeological site in Kültepe.
