The Vilayet of Ankara or Angora[3] was an Ottoman vilayet centered on the city of Ankara in north-central Anatolia, which includes most of ancient Galatia.
At the beginning of the 20th century it reportedly had an area of 32,339 square miles (83,760 km2), while the preliminary results of the first Ottoman census of 1885 (published in 1908) gave the population as 892,901.[4] The accuracy of the population figures ranges from "approximate" to "merely conjectural" depending on the region from which they were gathered.[4]
It was an agricultural country, depending for its prosperity on its grain, wool and the mohair obtained from the Angora goats.[1] An important industry was carpet-weaving at Kırşehir and Kayseri.[1] There were mines of silver, copper, lignite and salt, and many hot springs, including some of great repute medicinally.[1]
