history

Osmaniye was founded in 1866. The foundation served to settle rebel tribes that had risen during the Gâvur Dağı uprising. The name Osmaniye is derived from the Osman house .

After the end of the First World War , the city, like almost the entire southeast of today's Turkey , was occupied by French troops in accordance with the Treaty of Sèvres . This occupation lasted until 1922. During this time, the local population rebelled against the occupation. The city liberated itself from French occupation on January 7, 1922, so several buildings, streets and squares are dedicated to this date.
