History
Starting in the 1950s, employees of large factories in the area, such as Paşabahçe Glass, began settling in forested areas of Beykoz east of Elmalı. This neighborhood was made administratively separate from Elmalı in 2001 and named Örnekköy. At various times, internal migrants from the Black Sea region, including Rize, Kastamonu, Trabzon, and Giresun, settled in Örnekköy.
