The area where today's Pazarcık (lower Pazarcık) is located was opened to settlement and the city was moved here because the railway passed through here and the government office was moved here during the Ottoman period. The main livelihoods of the district are animal husbandry and agriculture. It changed after the 1980s, especially due to the labor force going abroad.
