This study analyzes the Edirne region in the late seventeenth century, during which the city of Edirne witnessed a fascinating spatial and demographic enlargement due to the very fact that the Ottoman Sultans preferred to physically reside there. The demographic rise – and hence spatial dispersion of the city necessitated certain requirements that are imperative for us to better comprehend the city’s position in the seventeenth century. The increasing necessities of the city not only brought about the internal organization of the city per se, but also gave way to a new administrative organization of its hinterland. In this regard, the present study aims at understanding the city’s role in the organization of and integration with its rural surroundings in the period under scrutiny. The latter is given prime importance through a method of exclusive focus on land and landholding in the rural hinterland of the city of Edirne.
