Beylikova, formerly Beylikahır, is a municipality and district of Eskişehir Province, Turkey.[1] Its area is 715 km2,[2] and its population is 5,781 (2022).[3] The town lies at an elevation of 7640NaN0.[4]
Beylikova hosted the Hittite civilization in prehistoric times. Later, the Phrygians, Lydians and the Persian Kingdom took control of this region. The Roman Empire also ruled over this region, but left no obvious artifacts built.
While the Anatolian Seljuk State annexed this region to Turkish lands, Beylikova became a great center where horses were fed and looked after. While the name of the district was "Beylikahir" at the time, it was changed to "Beylikova" in 1985.[5]
