Boğazlıyan

Boğazlıyan lies on the plateau between Yozgat and Kayseri, surrounded by cultivated plains and grazing land. In the sixteenth century it was recorded as a district of the Ottoman sancak of Bozok, where Turkmen groups had settled among the villages. It became a separate judicial district in the seventeenth century. Its position connected the Bozok uplands with the markets and roads of Kayseri to the south.
