Timeline, heritage and stories

History

İhsangazi developed as settlement, trade route and farmland in the historical geography of Kastamonu. Mounds and stone houses may bear traces of earlier periods.

Republic-era centralization of services shaped modern İhsangazi. Local archives and oral history illuminate this process.
