Kırşehir Province
Kırşehir Province was originally established in 1924. On 30 June 1954, the province of Kırşehir was dissolved and its territory was divided between the provinces of Nevşehir, Ankara and Yozgat. This was decided by the ruling Democrat Party government of Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, because the majority of the city's residents had voted for the Republican Nation Party led by opposition politician Osman Bölükbaşı in the 1954 Turkish general election on 2 May 1954. Three years later, on 1 July 1957, Kırşehir Province was re-established.
The provincial center Kırşehir is the 69th largest city by population in Turkey; its surface area corresponds to 0.84% of Turkey's land area, which makes it the 53rd largest city in the country by land area.
