Düzce Province

Düzce Province spans across 2,492 square kilometers of land between Istanbul and Ankara, featuring direct access to the Black Sea coastline.

The region gained independent provincial status in December 1999 following severe earthquakes that necessitated substantial administrative reorganization of the area.

The population of Düzce Province reflects migrations from Caucasus and Balkans during the 19th century, resulting in diverse traditional customs.

The province maintains strategic importance due to its position along the main highway connecting Istanbul to Ankara, facilitating transportation and commerce.

Düzce Province contributes over twenty percent of Turkey's total hazelnut production through its agricultural lands and favorable climate conditions.
