Neighbourhood in Dörtyol, Hatay, Turkey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuzuculu is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Dörtyol, Hatay Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 11,171 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3][4] It is almost merged to Dörtyol to the south.
The town was founded about five centuries ago by an Ottoman pasha named Emir Ali who built a watermill on the creek just south of the settlement. The first settlers were from Central Anatolia. They owned sheep herds and used this settlement as a kışlak (winter quarters for the herd). The name of the town refers to these early settlers, as Kuzucu means lamb owner.[5] Kuzuculu was declared a seat of township in 1957.
