Konya Province, Ottoman Empire
- Konya Province, Ottoman Empire
Konya was a vilayet in Asia Minor which included the whole, or parts of, Pamphylia, Pisidia, Phrygia, Lycaonia, Cilicia and Cappadocia.
It was formed in 1864 by adding to the old eyalet of Karamania the western half of Adana, and part of southeastern Anatolia. It was divided into five sanjaks: Adalia, Buldur, Hamid-abad, Konia and Nigdeh. The population (990,000 Muslems and 80,000 Christians) was for the most part agricultural and pastoral. The only industries were carpetweaving and the manufacture of cotton and silk stuffs. There were mines of chrome, mercury, cinnabar, argentiferous lead and rock salt. The principal exports were salt, minerals, opium, cotton, cereals, wool and livestock; and the imports cloth-goods, coffee, rice and petroleum. The vilayet was traversed by the Anatolian railway, and contains the railhead of the Ottoman line from Smyrna.
