Kahramanmaraş is the capital city of Kahramanmaraş Province in southeastern Turkey

The city lies on a plain at the foot of the Taurus Mountains and has a population of 326,198 as of 2000

The region is best known for its production of salep, a flour made from dried orchid tubers, and its distinctive ice cream

History
Kahramanmaraş was founded as a Hittite city-state ca

1000 BC

Later, the city was called Germanicia Caesarea (Γερμανίκεια, Germanikeia, in Greek) in the time of the Roman and Byzantine empires

Prior to 1973, Kahranmanmaras was known as Maraş pronounced Marash

It gained its modern name on October 7, 1973 when the Grand National Assembly of Turkey added "Kahraman" to the name

The addition of "Kahraman" ("hero" in Turkish) was in commemoration of the victory against the French Armenian Legion during the Battle of Maraş in the Turkish War of Independence

After the war, Maraş also received the Turkish Medal of Independence, given to the city as a whole for such actions as the Sütçü İmam Incident

In December 1978, Kahramanmaraş was the site of a massacre of leftist Alevis

An ultra-nationalist group, the Grey Wolves, incited the violence that left over 100 dead

The incident was of key importance in the Turkish government's decision to declare martial law, and the eventual military coup in 1980

Industry
Kahramanmaraş's industry is mainly based on textile and ice cream

Kahramanmaraş is one of the biggest textile industry cities of Turkey

Companies like Kipaş, İskur, Arsan and Bozkurt are one of the richest companies in the city

Also, many of the American clothing companies like Aéropostale and American Eagle are supplying their yarns from Kahramanmaraş

Some of the internationally-known ice-cream companies like Mado, Yaşar Pastanesi, EDO and Ferah Pastanesi started their business in this ice-cream city and thousands of people visit Kahramanmaraş, just because of its ice-cream (dondurma in Turkish)

The town was (and may still be) the home town of the 172nd Armoured Brigade of the Turkish Second Army
