Ergene, Tekirdağ

Ergene is a planned district and second level municipality in Tekirdağ Province, Turkey. According to Law act no 6360, all Turkish provinces with a population more than 750 000, will be a metropolitan municipality and the districts within the metropolitan municipalities will be second level municipalities. The law also creates new districts within the provinces in addition to present districts.[1] These changes will be effective by the local elections in 2014.

Thus after 2014 a part of the Çorlu district will be issued from Çorlu and will be declared a district named Ergene. (Ergene refers to a river with the same name which is a tributary of Meriç)

Rural area

There were 3 towns and 10 villages in the rural area of the district. Now their official status became "neighborhood of Ergene".
