Background
[edit]The establishment of Bahçeköy goes back to 1521 in the Ottoman Empire. Later, Muslim Turks from Salonica Vilayet, former territory of the Ottoman Empire, were settled here in the frame of population exchange between Greece and Turkey agreed with the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. The settlement received migration from all over Turkey. As of 2010, the population of Bahçeköy is 3,870.[4]
Following a local referendum, the settlement gained the right to be converted from a village status into a municipality. The first mayor election took place in 1997. It was merged into the municipality of Sarıyer in 2008.[5]
