== History == [[File:Sokak burhaniye.JPG|left|thumb|Hocaahmet Mosque, Burhaniye. After the collapse of the roof, a new roof was built by Greek craftsman Andriya]] Burhaniye was founded as Taylıeli ('Town of Taylı') village, named after one of the Turkish [[bey]]s who came to the aid of [[Seljuk dynasty|Seljuk]] ruler Süleyman. At the beginning of the 14th century it came under the domain of the [[Karasids]] and grew as it attracted migrants. In [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman times]], it was also known as Kemer and attached to Edremit until 1866 and became the centre of a district named after itself. It was renamed Burhaniye after the Ottoman Prince Şehzade Burhanettin. According to the Ottoman General Census of 1881/82-1893, the [[kaza]] of Burhaniye had a total population of 19.595, consisting of 17.145 Muslims, 2.433 [[Ottoman Greeks|Greeks]], 9 [[Armenians in the Ottoman Empire|Armenians]] and 8 foreign citizens.<ref>[[Kemal Karpat]] (1985), [https://kupdf.net/downloadFile/59e4a7b908bbc56144e653d7 Ottoman Population, 1830-1914, Demographic and Social Characteristics], [[The University of Wisconsin Press]], p. 132-133</ref>

He tricked the Greeks into thinking that the town center had a Turkish military presence and thus the Greeks continued their retreat without entering the town center and it was [[Borazan İsmail Çavuş#Volunteering in the Turkish Liberation War|saved from destruction]].<ref>"Borazan İsmail Çavuş".
