Karaman Eyalet (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت قرهمان, romanized: Eyālet-i Ḳaraman)[2] was one of the subdivisions of the Ottoman Empire. Its reported area in the 19th century was 30,463 square miles (78,900 km2).[3]
In 1468, the formerly independent principality of Karaman was annexed by the Ottomans; Mehmed II appointed his son Mustafa as governor of the new eyalet, with his seat at Konya.[4]
Administrative divisions
The eyalet consisted of seven sanjaks between 1700 and 1740:[5] Konya, Niğde, Kayseri, Kırşehir, Beyşehir, Aksaray, and Akşehir.
