People of Yörük Village

Safranbolu, Karabük

The nomadic communities living in the Safranbolu region in the 16th century are called 'Yörükan-Taraklı' or 'Yörükan-ı Taraklıborlu'. During the Ottoman Empire, Safranbolu was two separate townships, one named Medina-i Taraklıborlu in today's Safranbolu district center, and the other named Yörükan-ı Taraklıborlu, which was established for the tribes whose center is today's Yörük Village.
