Bor, Administrative division in Central Anatolia, Turkey

The administrative center of Bor stands at an elevation of 1,115 meters on a high plain, 14 kilometers southeast of Niğde city.

The settlement traces its origins to Hittite civilization as Tuwanuwa, later becoming Tyana under Roman rule and a significant Byzantine Christian center.

The district maintains traditional economic activities including livestock raising, carpet production, and leather manufacturing within its administrative boundaries.

The administrative region includes multiple neighborhoods and serves as the seat of Bor District, with a recorded population of 41,999 residents in 2022.

Archaeological excavations at Köşk Höyük reveal substantial Hittite settlements, while Roman waterways and ancient baths remain visible in the area.
