Bademdere is a village in Çamardı District, Niğde Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 1,042 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3]

Geography

[edit]

The distance to Çamardı is 16 km (9.9 mi) and to Niğde is 54 km (34 mi). The town is on the northern slopes of Taurus Mountains with an average altitude of 1,640 m (5,380 ft).

History

[edit]

The settlement had been established in the 18th century by the miners from Gümüşhane Province in the Black Sea region, who came to work in the various mines (lead, zinc and lignite) in Taurus Mountains. Later, agriculture replaced mining and they began producing fruits. In 1972, the settlement was declared township.[4]

Economy

[edit]

The main economic activity is agriculture. Apple is the most pronounced crop. Potatoes and almonds are also produced. In fact, the name of the town means literally "almond creek". Demirkazık, one of the peaks of Taurus Mountains (3,756 m (12,323 ft)) is just at the east of the town and mountaineering-based tourism also seems promising.
