Abstract :
Ancient times’ Tabae (Taba, Tabai, Tabenon), known as Kale Tavas today and also with unknown foundation date, doesn’t lose its significance until modern times. Thus, not being left this settlement in periods of Rome, Seljuk, Anatolian Principalities and Ottoman is a clear sign of its strategic importance in the region throughout centuries. After a while, Kale Tavas, moving from the overlooking and sheltered steep hill toward to plain on its north, became a county settlement till 19th century. However, Kale Tavas left its location to Yarengume which was 26 km northeast of it and became a county settlement in 1868 developing in 17th and 18th centuries. It was started to be talked about in 1892s that Kale Tavas, a village in administrative respect from 1868 to 1895, became a sub district and the period started with the correspondence dated June 29, 1308 (July 11, 1892) - Denizli Mutasarrıflığı eventually sent to Aydın in this respect - was completed with behest dated Shawwal 14, 1312/March 28, 1311 (April 10, 1895). This study deals with the period of Kale Tavas’ being a sub district. In this framework, it tried to clarify its population, strategic location, the villages connected to that place and administration in the first years emphasizing factors requiring Kale Tavas’ becoming a sub district.
