History

Formerly a centrally located rural village, Bulgurca was well-equipped with a health center, primary and secondary schools, a wide array of shops and trades, and a strong farming community.

By the end of 1997, Bulgurca was demolished for the Tahtali Dam project. Residents, along with those living in nearby villages, were relocated to the Pancar plains, approximately 5 km away from the original location at 38°9′35″N 27°8′44″E.

Bulgurca was also the location of the Bakla Tepe excavation site.
