Bağcılar is a district located on the European side of Istanbul. The district is located near the city centre, just north of Bahçelievler, between the two major ring roads, TEM and D100 (formerly E5). The district is the third most populous in the Istanbul Municipality. Bağcılar developed rapidly between the 1970s and 1990s and is primarily residential in nature. Bağcılar has a population of 744,351 in 2021. The neighborhood is served by the Istanbul Metro and the T1 line of the Istanbul Tram.[citation needed] The mayor is Abdullah Özdemir from the Justice and Development Party (Turkey).
Etymology
The name Bağcılar was given due to the abundance of vineyards. The name bağcılar means "vine growers" in Turkish. The district used to be known as Yeşilbağ, which translates to "green vineyard". The name was changed to Yeşilbağ when Bağcılar became a town and the name Bağcılar was given again when Bağcılar became a district. The old name of Bagcilar, which was largely populated by non-Muslim people in the Ottoman period, was Çıfıtburgaz (Yahudburgaz).

History
Ottoman Period Bağcılar
The area of Bağcılar encompassed sparsely populated countryside during the time of the Ottoman Empire until the time of the founding of the Republic of Turkey. Young Osman constructed a mosque approximately 400 years ago in an area which is today the center of the district.[4] There is a second 400-year-old mosque built by Young Osman which is located on the border of neighboring Güngören.

Archeological teams and builders have been known to discover historical artifacts while working in Bağcılar. There are aqueducts located in the military area of the Bağcılar district which were once in charge of meeting the water needs of Istanbul. One of the oldest historical structures in Bağcılar is the historical fountain located in the Mahmutbey neighborhood. These fountains were built by the Ottoman sultans in various parts of Istanbul at the time.

Republican Era Bağcılar
Nearer to the Turkish War of Independence, Bağcılar was one of the villages of Mahmutbey where the Greek population lived during the Ottoman period. This population worked in the areas lush vineyards.

Urbanization rapidly spread to other parts of Bağcılar causing a redrawing of maps which created the separate urban district of Bakırköy. Bağcılar continues to be known as a district known for rapid population growth and poor or informal urban planning. The presence of informally built apartment blocks remains a major concern for planning officials due to Istanbul's high earthquake risk.[3] In an attempt to reduce the risk of a mass casualty event as a result of a major earthquake, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality has undertaken several major housing development initiatives.[8] In 1989, the M1 line of the Istanbul Metro was extended to and terminates at Bağcılar. Later in 1992, the Istanbul Tram was extended to Bağcılar Square. The area is also extensively served by Istanbul's bus system.

Culture
People under the age of 22 make up 33% of the population in Bağcılar. Despite having a high primary school enrollment rate, there remains a persistent shortage of school capacity as there are many immigrant families who are not registered to live in Turkey. There are 118,250 students in primary and high schools in Bağcılar. Altınbaş University is located in Bağcılar. There is a public library near the Mahmutbey (Istanbul Metro) station. In addition to this facility, smaller libraries have been established in 22 neighborhoods of the district. There are a total of 16 Information Houses, the first of which was opened in 2008, that can support the education of children between the ages of 8 and 14.

BAĞCILARım 70 lerde Rumeli göçmenlerinin oluşturduğu küçük bir Bakırköy kasabasıydı. 75 ile 80 arası Bağcılar meydan tam bir şehirleşme evresine geçti. Hala seviyorum canım semtimi.
