Turgut Alp

There is very little information about his life, and there is doubt he was a historical person.^[1] During the early Ottoman Conquests in the reign of Osman I, Turgut Alp was sent to Angelacoma (present-day İnegöl) and he conquered the area.^[5][6] This area consisting some villages, was given to him by Osman I and his territory was called Turgut-ili (Province of Turgut).^[7][8][9] During the Siege of Bursa, Turgut Alp, along with Osman's warrior Mihal Gazi, participated in the conquest of Atranos Castle (later known as Orhaneli) in 1325, which played a key role in leading to the Ottoman conquest of Bursa during the reign of Sultan Orhan.^[1] He was also with Orhan during the conquest of Bursa (1326).^[10][11]

His tomb is located in the cemetery of Turgutalp (Genci) village, İnegöl, Turkey.^[12] The grave outside the Ertugrul Ghazi's mausoleum is an honorary grave, not the real burial place.^[13]

In 1877, during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), a city was founded and named "Turgutalp" after him in the then-Ottoman Empire.^{[citation needed]}
