İnegöl (known as Ἀγγελόκωμις, Angelokomis in the Byzantine period)[2][3] is a municipality and district of Bursa Province, Turkey.[4] Its area is 1,118 km2,[5] and its population is 294,485 (2022).[1] İnegöl is one of the centers of the Turkish furniture industry, and is also known for its meatball (İnegöl köftesi) which has its origins in ćevapi brought to the region by Bosnian immigrants (Bosniaks) during the Balkan Wars.

Although considerably quieter than the neighbouring Bursa and Eskişehir, İnegöl retains sufficient attractions to make it interesting for tourists for a one- or two-day stopover, as well as possessing sufficiently unspoilt nearby natural attractions to keep one occupied for longer stays. Notable tourist attractions are the İnegöl Kent Müzesi[6] and (directly next to it) the İshakpaşa Historical Mosque.[7] Nearby to İnegöl is the health resort of Oylat (also known as the Oylat Hotspring), adjacent to the Oylat Cave. İnegöl is also conveniently located near to Uludağ, a popular skiing resort during the winter months.
