History

The history of the antique Parthenios city (Παρθένιος in Greek), or Parthenia, dates back to 1200 BC, when its area was inhabited by the Kaskian tribe. In the following centuries, the region had entered under the dominance of Hittites, Phrygians, Cimmerians, Lydians, Greeks, and Persians. Later, it was part of the Roman Empire and then of the Byzantine Empire, until it fell to the Seljuk Turks and the Candaroğulları State between the 11th and the 13th centuries AD. Bartın was conquered by the Ottoman sultan Mehmet II in 1460. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Bartın was part of the Kastamonu Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire.

For a long time, Bartın city center was considered to only have an oceanic climate (Cfb), with its warmest month being well below the 22 °C threshold, yet in recent decades climate change and global warming has been contributing to its classification slowly turning humid subtropical (Cfa) and therefore the city center is currently classified as borderline oceanic-humid subtropical.
