It is situated 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of İznik and 85 kilometres (53 mi) northeast of Bursa at 40°29′N 29°44′E / 40.483°N 29.733°E. The population of the town was 2608[1] as of 2012. The settlement was founded on the ancient settlement named Liada or Linda.[citation needed] According to the mayor’s web page its history goes back to at least three centuries. But there is no consensus on the origin of the name which was İlbeyli during the Ottoman era. The place name probably refers to the Turkmen tribe with the same name.[2]
