Features


Kırkağaç is an agricultural district and known for its variety of melon known as Kırkağaç melon (Turkish: Kırkağaç kavunu).

Olive, walnut, tobacco and almond cultivation is among the important agricultural activities of Kırkağaç.[6]

There has been a road reconstruction in late 2021. A gas supply came to the city at the same time as to the city of Soma. A clock tower is situated in the center of the city.


History


The Greek writer Elias Venezis, in his book Number 31328, states that Kırkağaç was burned from the Armenian quarter by the "enemy" who left;[7] although this book is a memoir, in later versions the word "enemy" was changed to "Greek".[8]
