Established in 1598,[3] it remained a primarily Christian region into the 17th century, well after the rest of Anatolia had been converted to Islam.[3] This province has experienced various rebellions, such as the Tuzcuoğlu rebellions. Its reported area in the 19th century was 10,507 square miles (27,210 km2).[4]
