    Origin of the name Bingöl

    Bingol takes its name from Mount Bingol. There are many glacial lakes on this mountain. According to legend, an army fighting in the area was looking for water. A villager described Mount Bingol and said there was a lake here. The general led his troops here and saw the spring bubbling up in a thousand ponds: "That's not a lake, that's Bingol!" she cried. The old name of Bingol Province was "Cevlik". After the republic was proclaimed, it became a region called "Çabakçur". According to old books, Çapakçur means “clean water”. Çabakçur was renamed the provincial center in 1936 and Bingol in 1945. The Bingol Mountains with clouds and fog above, snow-capped peaks and hundreds of large and small glacial ponds became the name of the province.
