Anatolia Eyalet

Anatolia Eyalet

The Eyalet of Anatolia (Turkish: Anadolu Eyaleti) was one of the two core provinces (Rumelia being the other) in the early years of the Ottoman Empire. It was established in 1393. Consisting of western Anatolia, its capital was Kütahya. Its reported area in the 19th century was 65,804 square miles (170,430 km2).

After the abolition of the Janissary corps in 1826 which followed the Auspicious Incident, the eyalet was divided into 4: the eyalets of Aydin, Hüdevandigar, Ankara and Kastamonu.
