The Eyalet of Adrianople or Edirne[2] or Çirmen[3] (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت ادرنه; Eyālet-i Edirne)[4] was constituted from parts of the eyalets of Silistra and Rumelia in 1826.
It was one of the first Ottoman provinces to become a vilayet after an administrative reform in 1865, and by 1867 it had been reformed into the Vilayet of Adrianople.[5]
Administrative division
The eyalet comprised almost all of the historical geographical region of Thrace, and comprised the following subdivisions (sanjaks or livas):[3][6]
- Sanjak of Nevahi-i Erbaa (capital: Çatalca)
- Sanjak of Tekfürtaği (Rodosto) or Vize
- Sanjak of Gelibolu (Gallipoli)
- Sanjak of Edirne (Adrianople)
- Sanjak of Filibe (mod. Plovdiv)
- Sanjak of Islimiye (mod. Sliven) or Eski Zagra (Stara Zagora)
The sanjaks were further subdivided into 50 kazas or prefectures.[3]
