Elazığ is a city built on a very fertile plain in the last century of the Ottoman Empire. The history of Harput, the old settlement of Elazığ, dates back to ancient times. It is one of Anatolia's oldest settlements, with abundant water resources and fertile plains. As a matter of fact, artifacts dating back to 10,000 BC were found in some archaeological excavations in the region. The city was called Harput until 1867. In 1867, with the proclamation of Sultan Abdulaziz, the town was named "Ma'mûrat-ül-Aziz," which means the city that Aziz built. However, this name was called Elaziz among the people over time due to the difficulty of its pronunciation. With the establishment of the Turkish Republic, it was renamed Elazığ, which means the city of Azık, by Atatürk in 1937.
