The founder of the Turkish state, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, visited the thermal facilities of Yalova for the first time in 1927.

Ataturk commissioned the construction of a villa in Millet Farm ( Millet Çiftliği ). Designed by the architect Sedat Hakkı Eldem , it was completed in 1929. The villa was originally called the Millet Farm Villa (“Millet” is the Turkish word for “nation”).
