HISTORY OF THE MINE: Known history of Maden district; According to the sources, it dates back to 2000 BC. Mitanni Kingdom in 1450 BC, BC. 30-M.S. The Roman Empire in 180 BC, and the Seljuks in AD 1077 dominated. Copper deposits in Maden district were discovered by the Assyrians 2000 years before Christ. However, British Scientists "Tarring L.H. and H.C. Cordero", "In A. Metal Merchant`s Of fice", mankind's copper for the first time in BC. They write that they found it between the Euphrates and Tigris valleys between 7000-8000. Between the Euphrates and the Tigris, Copper has not been found anywhere other than Maden District and has not been processed. In 1515, the Ottoman Emperor Yavuz Sultan Selim, who organized an expedition to the east, joined the Mine, the Empire's lands. According to the available resources and available records, Maden District; Before Christ in 2000, the Huriler, in 1450 the Kingdom of Mitanni, between 30 BC and 180 AD; It was found within the borders of the Abbasids during the spread of the Roman Empire and Islam, the Anatolian Seljuks between 1077-1308, the Saltuks in the first half of the 13th century, the Karakoyunlu since 1335, and the Akkoyunlu State since 1481. When Shah Ismail started to establish and expand the Safavid State, while the state moved its borders to the west, he took Harput, meanwhile Maden District from the hands of the Akkoyunlu people, to his own country. After the Çaldıran Victory, when the armies of Yavuz Sultan Selim conquered Eastern Anatolia, Maden was in the hands of the Shiite Ummah. The armies of Yavuz Sultan Selim, who came to this region in 1515, also included Maden in the Ottoman Empire. Reşit Mehmet Pasha, who was appointed in 1834 to make reforms in the Eastern Provinces and to reestablish the destroyed state authority, was also the Governor and Commander of Sivas-Harput-Diyarbakır and Maden Provinces. Maden, which continued its administration as the District Governor of Diyarbakır until 1889, was governed by the Governorship between 1889-1924, the Governor between 1924-1927, and after 1927 it became the District Governor of Elazig Province. Maden is still a district of Elazig Province. The district center was originally established in the location called Arpameydanı. However, afterwards, Arpameydanı District was expropriated because it was located in the mining area, and the citizens living here settled in Kortik, which is right on the Diyarbakır-Elazığ Highway and Bahçelievler District was established here.

Maden district Elazığ is a cute little town on the Diyarbakır highway. The district is located on a hill. The mountainous area is an obstacle to the growth of the region. On the other hand, it welcomes you with its local products and fresh air. I recommend you to relax in the tea gardens along the way and enjoy pancakes and tea.

There may not be much to do, but it is nice and beautiful. Watching the landscape in Hazar Golu and the restaurant on the road.
