The Vilayet of Adana[3] (Ottoman Turkish: ولايت اطنه, Vilâyet-i Adana;[4]) was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of the Ottoman Empire in the south-east of Asia Minor, which encompassed the region of Cilicia.[1] It was established in May 1869.[5] Adana Vilayet bordered with Konya Vilayet (in west), Ankara Vilayet and Sivas Vilayet (in north), and Haleb Vilayet (in east and south). Adana Vilayet corresponds to the modern region of Çukurova in Turkey.
