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 [beys](/source/Bey) who came to the aid of [Seljuk](/source/Seljuk_dynasty) ruler Süleyman. At the beginning of the 14th century it came under the domain of the [Karasids](/source/Karasids) and grew as it attracted migrants. In [Ottoman times](/source/Ottoman_Empire), 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](/source/Kaza) of Burhaniye had a total population of 19.595, consisting of 17.145 Muslims, 2.433 [Greeks](/source/Ottoman_Greeks), 9 [Armenians](/source/Armenians_in_the_Ottoman_Empire) and 8 foreign citizens.[5] On 8 June 1922 the town was fell to Turkish forces. As the Greek forces were retreating they intended to burn and destroy the town center, however this was prevented by [Borazan Çavuş](/source/Borazan_%C4%B0smail_%C3%87avu%C5%9F) from [Pelitköy](/source/Pelitk%C3%B6y), who climbed on a minaret and when he saw the Greek enemy units approaching, played the attack tune on his [bugle](/source/Bugle). 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 [saved from destruction](/source/Borazan_%C4%B0smail_%C3%87avu%C5%9F#Volunteering_in_the_Turkish_Liberation_War).[6] In front of a statue of [Atatürk](/source/Atat%C3%BCrk) is a monument with a sculpture of a rifle and bugle in commemoration of Borazan Çavuş and the [Kuva-yi Milliye](/source/Kuva-yi_Milliye). Until 1992 there was also a sculpture by [Gürdal Duyar](/source/G%C3%BCrdal_Duyar) depicting Borazan Çavuş. Burhaniye is 4 kilometres east of the site of ancient Adramyttium, which was later moved 13 kilometres northeast to [Edremit](/source/Edremit%2C_Bal%C4%B1kesir).[7] Its history is described in the article on the modern town, which has inherited the name of the old. ## Composition There are 39 [neighbourhoods](/source/Mahalle) in Burhaniye District:[8] - [Ağacık](/source/A%C4%9Fac%C4%B1k%2C_Burhaniye) - Ali Çetinkaya - [Avunduk](/source/Avunduk%2C_Burhaniye) - [Bahadınlı](/source/Bahad%C4%B1nl%C4%B1%2C_Burhaniye) - Bahçelievler - [Börezli](/source/B%C3%B6rezli%2C_Burhaniye) - [Çallı](/source/%C3%87all%C4%B1%2C_Burhaniye) - [Çamtepe](/source/%C3%87amtepe%2C_Burhaniye) - [Çoruk](/source/%C3%87oruk%2C_Burhaniye) - Cumhuriyet - [Damlalı](/source/Damlal%C4%B1%2C_Burhaniye) - [Dutluca](/source/Dutluca%2C_Burhaniye) - Geriş - Hacıahmet - [Hacıbozlar](/source/Hac%C4%B1bozlar%2C_Burhaniye) - [Hisarköy](/source/Hisark%C3%B6y%2C_Burhaniye) - Hürriyet - İskele - [Karadere](/source/Karadere%2C_Burhaniye) - [Kırtık](/source/K%C4%B1rt%C4%B1k%2C_Burhaniye) - [Kızıklı](/source/K%C4%B1z%C4%B1kl%C4%B1%2C_Burhaniye) - Kocacami - [Kurucaoluk](/source/Kurucaoluk%2C_Burhaniye) - [Kuyucak](/source/Kuyucak%2C_Burhaniye) - [Kuyumcu](/source/Kuyumcu%2C_Burhaniye) - Mahkeme - Memiş - Öğretmenler - Ören - [Pelitköy](/source/Pelitk%C3%B6y) - [Şahinler](/source/%C5%9Eahinler%2C_Burhaniye) - [Şarköy](/source/%C5%9Eark%C3%B6y%2C_Burhaniye) - [Sübeylidere](/source/S%C3%BCbeylidere%2C_Burhaniye) - [Tahtacı](/source/Tahtac%C4%B1%2C_Burhaniye) - [Taylıeli](/source/Tayl%C4%B1eli%2C_Burhaniye) - [Yabancılar](/source/Yabanc%C4%B1lar%2C_Burhaniye) - [Yaylacık](/source/Yaylac%C4%B1k%2C_Burhaniye) - Yunus - [Yunuslar](/source/Yunuslar%2C_Burhaniye) ## Climate Burhaniye has a [Mediterranean climate](/source/Mediterranean_climate) ([Köppen](/source/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification): *Csa*)[9] with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.
