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. Before the Seljuks, most of the population and settlements in the Cappadocia Region lived during the Crusades and the 11th century. It was destroyed in the wars between the Turkish Principalities in .
After the conquest, the Seljuk State established new village
After the conquest, the Seljuk State established new village settlements in this region as a requirement of its Islamization and Turkification Policy. Göre, Nar, Muşkara are some of the new settlements established in this region.[2] It is known that Nar's settlement was built on the city of Nisa (Nyssa). The city of Nisa (Nyssa), the pre-Seljuk settlement of Nar, was a Byzantine city and was located somewhere between today's Nevşehir and Nar. Nyssa was completely destroyed in the war between the Danishmends and the Seljuks in 1157.
There are two explanations for the name of the town of Nar. Firstly, it is said to come from the Greek words Nero, Nora, Neroassos, meaning "wet place". The second is that it is derived from the Arabic word Ennar, which means fire and hell. These two comments actually describe two separate historical realities of the town of Nar.
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.
The name Ennar is a sign of the increasing Muslim population in Cappadocia in the 18th century. The fact that Nar people say that the word Nar comes from Arabic indicates the period after Damat İbrahim Pasha's Nomadic Muslims Settlement Policy towards the region.
