Kuzuculu

Kuzuculu is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Dörtyol, Hatay Province, Turkey.

The town was founded about five centuries ago by an Ottoman pasha named Emir Ali who built a watermill on the creek just south of the settlement.

They owned sheep herds and used this settlement as a kışlak (winter quarters for the herd).

The name of the town refers to these early settlers, as Kuzucu means lamb owner.

[5] Kuzuculu was declared a seat of township in 1957.
