## Geography

Sultanköy is a coastal town in [Rumeli](/source/Rumeli) (Thrace, the European part of Turkey) to the northeast of Marmara Ereğlisi. It is on the state highway [D.110](/source/State_road_D.110_(Turkey)) which connects [Istanbul](/source/Istanbul) to [Tekirdağ](/source/Tekirda%C4%9F). The distance to Marmara Ereğlisi is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) and to Tekirdağ is 48 kilometres (30 mi).

## History

Although there was a settlement named *Parolionthos*[citation needed] around the present town in the ancient age, Sultanköy was founded in the 16th century by the [Turkmen](/source/Oghuz_Turk) people from [Iran](/source/Iran) and was named as *Sultanşah*. Later the suffix -şah was replaced by -köy. The settlement suffered during the wars in the last years of the [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire). It was occupied by the Russians in the [Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878)](/source/Russo-Turkish_War_(1877%E2%80%931878)), by the Bulgarians in the [First Balkan War](/source/First_Balkan_War) and by the Greeks after the [First World War](/source/First_World_War). In 1999 it was declared a seat of township.[5]

## Economy

The industrial site to the north and east of the town is a major source of revenue for the town residents. There is also a [natural gas power plant](/source/Unimar_Marmara_Ere%C4%9Flisi_Power_Plant) in the town.
