GELİBOLU
Gelibolu is the name of a town and a district of Çanakkale Province, Turkiye, located on the Gallipoli peninsula in the European part of Turkiye.
Gelibolu was the original center of Kaptanpaşa Eyalet; between 1864 and 1920 the town was the sanjak center in Edirne vilayet.
The Bulgarian Army threatened Gelibolu during the First Balkan War and advanced to Bolayır in 1912. During the First World War
the peninsula and the town were invested by a series of memorable battles (see Gallipoli Campaign). The town was lately occupied by Greeks,
between, and finally returned to Turkiye. Between 1922 and 1926 the town was a provincial center and the districts of Gelibolu,
Eceabat, Keşan (Enez became part of Keşan before 1953) and Şarköy.
