Located along the Marmara coast, Silivri is one of Istanbul s prominent districts, known for its historical and cultural richness, fertile lands, and unique natural beauty. The history of Silivri dates back to the Roman and Byzantine periods and continued to be a significant waypoint during the Ottoman Empire. In the Ottoman era, Silivri was recognized for its agricultural production and maritime trade, and over time, it has grown while preserving this rich heritage. Silivri s population expanded throughout the 20th century, enriched by migrations from the Balkans and Anatolia, and further developed due to Istanbul s increasing demand for industrial and residential areas. Gaining district status in 1987, Silivri has evolved under the leadership of various dedicated mayors, achieving a modern and well-planned urban structure. With nearly 300,000 residents and 35 neighborhoods, Silivri is currently one of Istanbul s fastest-growing districts. Its extensive fertile farmland is preserved and developed through sustainable agricultural policies spearheaded by the Silivri Municipality. Acting with a vision for Local Development and Sustainable Agriculture, Silivri Municipality supports agriculture with projects like local seed production, lavender cultivation, and olive farming, aiming to position the district as an agricultural hub. Bora Balcıoğlu, elected as Mayor of Silivri on March 31, 2024, serves the district under the slogan Silivri is Beautiful Together. Under Balcıoğlu s leadership, the municipality offers a wide range of services from social services to environmental protection projects, from educational and cultural activities to sports facilities all aimed at enhancing the welfare of its residents and elevating Silivri to be one of Istanbul s exemplary districts. Silivri Municipality continues its efforts with the philosophy of Together with its History, Nature, and Culture, maintaining Silivri as a significant center of life within Istanbul through its nature, agriculture, tourism, and strong social structure.
