History
Adana, founded on the delta of the Seyhan and
Ceyhan rivers, dates back to 6000 BC. The area
has had a long string of rulers, starting with
the Luvi Kingdom from 1900 BC (a branch of the
Hittites), through a succession of Hittites, Phrygians,
Assyrians, Persians, Seluicuds and Byzantines.
There was an on-off struggle between the Greeks
and Persians, which lasted 1000 years, which ended
once the Romans came in the 1st century BC. The
city first became an important trading centre
under the Romans. Following the age of Islam,
which began in 638 AD, there were then the Egyptian
Mamelukes, the Ramazanogullari (Turks), and the
Ottomans who captured the city in the16th century.
Adana has been given the following names in order
Uru Adania -Adad -Adanus -Ezene -Batana -Erdena
At Last Adana has occupied a place in the formal
enrolments since 1872 and was registered.
Climate
With high mountains and low-lying plains, Adana’s
climate varies depending on the geography. The
climate of the plains is typical of the Mediterranean,
with hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The
coldest month is January (average temperature
9ºC) and the hottest is August (average 28ºC).
