Terzialan
Terzialan is a belde (town) in Çan district of Çanakkale Province, Turkey. At 39°58′N 27°01′E it is 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south of Çan and 75 kilometres (47 mi) east of Çanakkale. The population of Terzialan was 2072 [1] as of 2013. The settlement was founded by the Muslim refugees from Eskicuma village near Razgrad, Bulgaria during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). The former name of the settlement was Çakmabayır. But in the 20th century it was named Terzialan, which means "tailor's area" referring to itinerant tailors who performed in the settlement during the market days. In 1994, a nearby village named Süleköy was merged to Terzialan and Terzialan was declared a seat of township.[2]
