History of Karabük

In the old times Karabük was an important route between Amasra on the coast and central Anatolia. The history of the city goes back to the early years of the Republic, it was a small sub-village formed by 13 houses in the Öğlebeli village of Safranbolu. There was also a small train station on the route of Ankara - Zonguldak. It started to develop with the industrialization of the country. One of the first steel factories of the Republic was built here in 1939 after which it grew rapidly and incorporated Öğlebeli village as a quarter. She had a municipality and became township in Safranbolu district in 1941. She became the district in 1953. She finally became a province center in 1995.
