Havsa

Havsa (Greek: Νίκη) is a town in Edirne Province of Turkey.

In 1362, the land was captured by Turks under the leadership of Murat I and the area was named Hosa.

After Edirne became the center of the Ottoman Empire, the Rûm population in Hosa abandoned the city and moved to Istanbul and Thessaloniki.

After the capture of Constantinople, Turks from Anatolia moved in, making the town Turkish.
