History
Yenişehir, which was established by building permanent houses for the first time from the tent life in the Beylik period of the Ottoman Empire, was used by the Ottoman Army in Anatolia and Middle East expeditions due to its wetland and wide plain. The claim that the city was founded by Osman Gazi is among the opinions put forward. Where for the first time, a sermon was read, coins were printed, taxes were collected, a regular army was started to be established, and the first law (edict) was commanded here. According to one view, it is claimed that Yenişehir was known as Melangeia/Malágina in 1308 or that Yenişehir was formerly known as Neapolis. Before the population exchange, it was the center of a sub-administration with the same name with a population of approximately 5,000; 2,500 of its population were Greeks, who had excellent schools.
The known history of Yenişehir dates back to the beginning of the 14th century. It was connected to the Ertuğrul sanjak, where Bilecik was the center at that time, and continued this position until 1926. İznik was the subdistrict of the city between 1926 and 1930.
