Kurtbey is a village in the Uzunköprü District of Edirne Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 1,128 (2022).[2] It is situated in the eastern Trakya (Thrace) plains. The distance to Uzunköprü is 25 kilometres (16 mi). The settlement was founded during the Rise of the Ottoman Empire (14th-15th centuries) by an akıncı (Ottoman militia the 14th to 16th centuries) chief named Kurtbey. In the 19th century, especially following the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), Muslim refugees from Bulgaria (mostly Pomaks) and Romania were also settled in Kurtbey. Between 1954 and the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3] The town economy depends on agriculture. The crops are wheat, rice, sunflower, sugarbeet and watermelon.
