Akpınar is a city and capital of the district of the same name in the Turkish province of Kırşehir in Central Anatolia . The place is about 40 kilometers north of the provincial capital Kırşehir .
geography
The district is located in the northwest of the province. It borders in the northeast on Akçakent County , in the southeast on the central district, in the southwest on Kaman County and in the northwest on the province of Kırıkkale . The D765 trunk road runs through the district and the city and connects İnebolu on the Black Sea via the capital Ankara with Kirşehir and continues to Nevşehir and Niğde . Coming from the east, the Manahöz Deresi flows through the district. It is dammed about 13 kilometers north of the district town to the Karaova Barajı reservoir and flows into the Kılıçözü Çayı , which runs roughly parallel to the provincial border in the northwest.
The district was split off from the northeastern part of Kaman district in 1987 and was a separate Bucak there until then . At the last census before the change of area (1985) this Bucak had 13,694 inhabitants. The main town ( Bucak Merkezi ) had 2,661 inhabitants.
At the end of 2018, the district consisted of the district town (37% of the district's population) and 26 villages ( Köy ) with an average of 189 residents. The scale of the population ranged from 557 ( Köşker ) to 13 ( Çelebiuşağı ). Where Çelebiuşağı with yağmurlu Sarıuşağı was considered the smallest town in the province (county Kaman). The population density (13.4) is significantly lower than that of the province (of 36.7 inhabitants per km²).
history
The place goes back to the settlement of two nomadic tribes ( Yörük ). After the great earthquake that shook the region in 1938, the administrative center of the local Bucak was relocated to the village of Akpınar in 1939 because of the great damage in what was then the center of Köşker, which achieved the status of a municipality ( Belediye ) in 1959 . The fact that the D765 trunk road from Ankara to Kayseri was laid through Akpınar, and the expansion of this road led to further population growth and further development of the place.
