Bağcılar (Vineyards or Vine growers) is located in European side of Istanbul and the county is known for the highest density of population in Istanbul. Also, the county is one of the first places known for the migration, generally from Eastern Anatolia Region.
Bağcılar was a town of Bakırköy. In 1992 it became a county of Istanbul. Bağcılar has an important history but there isn’t enough knowledge about history, perhaps it was not studied for details. The most important and precise information known is that there were much more Greek population and Greek villages. The county has feature of being one of Mahmutbey which is name given to the villages inhabited by Greeks. The name of the county was Cıfıtburgaz in that time.
As most of the districts in European side, the county was declared from Greeks and Greek population after established of the Republic. It is known that the Turks were brought from Salonika and Bulgaria and placed in Bağcılar. Approximately seventeen thousand acres of land which was called Yeşilbağ was given them, however, as a result of industrialization the green and viticulture were ended so the name was changed. The population provided economic development with viticulture until 1975 but as we mentioned above, the district grown up seriously unplanned because of migration from Anatolia. This is also reason that in 1990 Bağcılar was very crooked placements and hadn’t enough infrastructure. In 1992, economic development was started to correct and inadequate infrastructure was fixed largely. Today, the county continues to develop.
The county’s based sector is the textile now. Important commercial establishments are placed in Bağcılar and provide significant employments. Metal works, food and transportation sectors are developing in the county as well as textile. The agriculture is not made any more because industrialization is developed so greenery is reduced and natural appearance is lost.
