Cihangazi is a small belde (town) in Bozüyük district of Bilecik Province, Turkey. It is 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Bozüyük at 39°44′N 29°55′E / 39.733°N 29.917°E / 39.733; 29.917. The population of Cihangazi was 391 [1] as of 2013. The name of the village probably refers to an undated tombstone of a certain war hero named Cihangazi (literally "World veteran"). Cihangazi was a more populous town in the past and its population is decreasing because of migration to cities.
