Ferizli is a municipality and district of Sakarya Province, Turkey.[2] It takes its name from Feriz or Feyzi Ağa who lived in the region. The name used as Firuzlu during the Ottoman period took its current form over time. It is recorded that it was founded as Feriz or Feyzi Ağa Farm around 1400-1406, with the settlement of Armenians from Sivas who escaped from the tyranny of Timur. The farmland spread to the villages of Damlık in the east and Elmalık in the southwest. The town of Adapazarı (Donigaşen) was also founded by Armenian immigrants under the protection of the same bey.[3][4][5][6]
Its area is 173 km2,[7] and its population is 30,741 (2022).[1] The mayor is Mehmet Ata (iYi).
