Elbistan, District center in Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey.

Located at an elevation of 1,150 meters, Elbistan spans across 2,319 square kilometers in eastern Turkey with a population of 142,548 residents.

The town evolved from its ancient name Ablasta to become the capital of the Dulkadir Beylik before joining the Ottoman Empire in 1515.

The Ulu Cami mosque exhibits early Ottoman architecture with Selçuk period elements, featuring stone arches and Corinthian capitals from Roman settlements.

Multiple hotels serve business travelers near the otogar, with regular servis buses connecting the town center to transportation hubs in Kahramanmaraş.

The district contains a substantial lignite coalfield that supplies fuel to nearby power stations, influencing the local economy and industrial development.
