Kağıthane is one of the counties of Istanbul placed in the European side and it is surrounded by other counties, Beşiktaş is located in the east, Eyüp is in the west and Şişli is in the north and south. Kağıthane has short coastline of the Golden Horn where Kağıthane Creek finishes. The county is uneven in general. As a natural result of the bumps the county includes the rivers and valleys. However, these areas are used as residential areas because of the rapidly increasing population of Istanbul.
Kağıthane Creek is located in Kağıthane as it is understood and the old name of it was “Barbios” used in the Byzantine period. Although it is not known exactly, it is said that the name of county comes from a paper mill which was located in here. Also it is claimed that there were flour mills in ancient times. In addition, the sport of javelin activities are said to be organized in the flat areas of the county. People are known to fill the region with cars and boats in ancient times especially in the entertainment time of county, in spring. Beside them, the region was a place to host of the Patron Halil Rebellion and this caused big damages. Although Sultans made the county repaired, it was never built as the former. The Çağlayan (waterfall) Pavilion with many parts were destroyed during the Second World War, so there are little historical ruins in Kağıthane.
Although the county was destroyed and has such debris regions, it has shown important improvement in recent years. Industrial and entertainment centers of the county are seen to be collected in the southern of the county. The main reason for this is one of neighbor, Şişli because level of income and living standards are higher than the other neighbors of Kağıthane.
The population of Kağıthane consists of people who migrated to work from Anatolia as nearly entire counties of Istanbul.
