Turkey’s first Iron and Steel Factory was esablished in Karabük in 1938.

Karabük was a small village with only 13 houses then.

Many people came to Karabük to work from every part of Turkey.

As years passed by, Karabük became a big city, and now it’s a province

The economy in Karabük mainly depends on iron and steel products but…

There is an air pollution problem in Karabük because of the factory.

Karabük is surrounded by mountains and forests.

About people live in the city centre.

There are every kinds of schools including a technical university.

But there is only one public library with only two little rooms!

Home for lonely old people.
