Gölcük, Administrative district in Kocaeli Province, Turkey
The administrative district spans 217 square kilometers along the Gulf of İzmit, encompassing one central town and twenty-three surrounding villages.
The establishment of a military shipyard in 1927 for the battleship Yavuz repairs marked the beginning of modern development in Gölcük.
The district maintains connections to its Greek and Roman heritage from the time when the region was known as Bithynia.
The district houses a Ford Otosan automobile manufacturing facility and serves as a base for the Turkish Navy's operations.
The 1999 earthquake transformed the region, leading to substantial rebuilding efforts and infrastructure modifications throughout the district.
