Bolvadin

Bolvadin stretches across 944 square kilometers between the Sultandağ and Emirdağ mountains, with a population of 45,944 residents distributed among three municipalities and fourteen villages.

The settlement evolved from ancient Phrygia through Roman times when it was called Polybotum, later becoming a strategic point under Seljuk and Ottoman control.

The district maintains traditional practices through local festivals, community gatherings, and the production of specialized buffalo milk cream products.

The district governorate manages administrative services through multiple offices located in the central town, serving residents from both urban and rural areas.

A pharmaceutical factory processes locally grown opium plants into morphine, continuing a long-standing agricultural tradition in the fertile Akarçay River valley.
