Anatolia Eyalet

The Eyalet of Anatolia (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت آناطولی; Eyālet-i Anaṭolı‎) was one of the two core provinces (Rumelia being the other) in the early years of the Ottoman Empire. It was established in 1393. Consisting of western Anatolia, its capital was Kütahya. Its reported area in the 19th century was 65,804 square miles (170,430 km2). As part of the Tanzimat reforms, the Anatolia Eyalet was dissolved ca. 1841 and divided into smaller provinces, although various scholars give conflicting dates for the dissolution, from as early as 1832 to as late as 1864.
