In the early Turkish Republic, the Çanakkale Province came into existence with the abolition of the Ottoman-erasanjaks ofBiga andGelibolu. According to a population census in 1927,Çanakkale had 8,500 inhabitants, except its neighbouring villages. It is recorded that Çanakkale, which was also called as "Hellespontos" and "Dardanelles" in ancient times, has accommodated many civilizations for about 3,000 years. Even the Archaic Troy (Troia) city, formerly governed by Lydians and destroyed by the devastating earthquake in 2500 BC, has ruins surviving to today. In 336 BC, thePersian Empire, which became the crucial power inAnatolia, was conquered byAlexander the Great. Also with the ruin of the Anatolian beylik of Karesi, most of the territory of Çanakkale was conquered in the Ottoman era, with the assistance of the castles in remuneration for helping to Byzantine Empire, locating Gelibolu. Afterwards, the Çanakkale strait was given to the Ottoman Empire.
