İnegöl


İnegöl is a municipality and district of Bursa Province, Turkey. Its area is 1,118 km² (432 sq mi), and its population is 302,251 (2024). İnegöl is one of the centers of the Turkish furniture industry, and is also known for its meatball (İnegöl köftesi) which has its origins in cevapi brought to the region by Bosnian immigrants (Bosniaks) during the Balkan Wars.

Although considerably quieter than the neighbouring Bursa and Eskisehir, İnegöl retains sufficient attractions to make it interesting for tourists for a one- or two-day stopover, as well as possessing sufficiently unspoilt nearby natural attractions to keep one occupied for longer stays. Notable tourist attractions are the İnegöl Kent Müzesi and, directly next to it, the Ishakpasa Historical Mosque. Near İnegöl is the health resort of Oylat (also known as the Oylat Hotspring), adjacent to the Oylat Cave. İnegöl is also located near Uludag, a popular skiing resort during the winter months.

From 1867 until 1922, İnegöl was part of Hüdavendigâr vilayet. It was occupied by the Greek Army during the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922); however, it was retaken by the Turks during the Great Offensive.
