moreThe exact date of establishment of the Şarlı is stated as 1682. The charter is referred to as the township of Akçaabat in a list prepared for the tax sharing of 1848-1849. Again, in the tithe book prepared for tax purposes in 1850, while the townships of İskefye, Fol, Oğuz and Akhisar stream, in which Şarlı is included, were mentioned together with the name of Vakfıkebir, it was stated that the district they belonged to was Akçaabat. One of the administrative units of Şarlı, Oğuz and Kızılağaç, which forms the Ağasar valley, Şarlı sub-district gained an official sub-district identity after the 1860s and included the villages of the other two sub-districts. The first mentioned village of the Şarlı subdistrict is Şarlı. This coastal settlement, which is at the forefront as the center of the 14 villages connected here, will form the core of the town of Beşikdüzü in the future. As the village of Şarlı became a town, the town of Şarlı, which formed its center, was shaped by the new implementation instructions in 1871. While it was stated in the Trabzon Province Yearbook of 1874 that Vakfıkebir be elevated to the status of a district, the administrative position of the Şarlı township did not pass between 1869-1875 in the yearbook of the same year. Moreover, the center is not connected to the district, nor is it in a separate subdistrict. Attempts to make the district of Şarlı an independent district was realized within the framework of a series of official correspondence that we obtained from the Ottoman archive documents between the years 1888-1914. Despite the wishes of the people of Şarlı to not be connected to Vakfıkebir but to become an independent district or to be connected to Görele, it was definitively connected to Vakfıkebir on April 2, 1916. In our research, it will be explained the districts that Şarlı was affiliated with during the Tanzimat period and how he turned into a village unit. Administrative problems continued in the Republican period under the name Beşikdüzü. In our city history research, in addition to Ottoman archive documents, research and examination works, Trabzon Province Yearbooks, general population censuses obtained from the TÜİK archive by years were used as a source, and the Şarlı was examined with numerical data in terms of administrative and population.
