Ordu ((:ˈoɾdu)) is a port city on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, and the capital of Ordu Province. Estimated population c. 2014: 195,817. ==History== In the 8th century BC, the settlement of Cotyora (also spelled Kotyora) was founded in this area as one of a string of colonies along the Black Sea coast established by the Miletians. Xenophon mentions the town (''Anabasis'' V.5.3f), as does Strabo much later (XII.3.17). Arrian, in his 131 CE guidebook ''Periplus of the Euxine Sea'', describes it as a village "and not a large one."〔16.3 Translated in ''Arrian: Periplus Ponti Euxini'', edited and translated by Aidan Liddle (London: Bristol Classical Press, 2003), p. 75〕 The area came under the control of the Danishmends, then the Seljuk Turks in 1214 and 1228, and the Hacıemiroğulları Beylik in 1346. Afterwards, it passed to the dominion of the Ottomans in 1461 along with the Empire of Trabzon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=lahana.org )〕 The modern city was founded by the Ottomans as Bayramlı near Eskipazar as a military outpost west of Ordu. In 1869, the name was changed to Ordu and united with the districts of Bolaman, Perşembe, Ulubey, Hansamana (Gölköy) and Aybastı. Ordu province was created at 17 April 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ordu )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ordu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
