history of nar city
When looking at historical ruins such as churches and cemeteries, it can be seen that the history of Nar Town dates back to the first Christians escaping from the Middle East. Nar Town and its previous settlement, Nyssa, have lived under Roman, Byzantine, Danişment, Seljuk and Ottoman rule until today. The name pomegranate is first seen in the records when the Seljuk State defeated the Danişmends in 1157 and completely conquered Cappadocia.[1] The Seljuks came to Cappadocia in 1067 and it took approximately 100 years for them to dominate the region.

Nar Town is a village that was founded in the 11th century under the rule of the Turks after the Byzantine Empire, with a predominantly Christian population and where nomadic Turks also settled. When we look at the Land Registry Book of 1584, the fact that 34 of the 49 people registered to pay taxes to the state have Christian names supports this fact. In addition, the fact that Nar is the only wetland among the surrounding villages is another finding that the name Nar derives from the Greek word for wetland.
