history

Elmadağ already existed as a village in Ottoman times and was called Asi Yozgat . Mentioned in Ankara's court registers for 400 years, it was a village on a bottleneck ( derbent köyü ) used as a camp for caravans. Within the sanjak of Ankara, Asi Yozgat belonged to its central ( Merkez ) kaza (originally judicial, later administrative district, forerunner of İlçe) and to nahiye Kasaba-i Balâ . In 1928 Asi Yozat became the center of a newly founded Bucak . In 1936 this was separated from the Balâ district and added to the newly formed İlçe Çankaya. In 1941 Asi Yozgat was given its current name Elmadağ and in 1944 received the status of a municipality (Belediye). In 1960 the Bucak was then elevated to İlçe. In the course of belonging to the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality since 2004, the villages and other municipalities of the district were gradually incorporated into the central municipality and in 2008 the former municipality of Lalahan was incorporated into Mamak.
