Egerci

Turkey

Eğerci is a village located in the Devrek District of Zonguldak Province, Turkey. It is situated along a tributary of the Filyos River at a distance of 28 kilometres from the district center of Devrek. The settlement was historically significant as a stop on caravan routes during the Ottoman era and derived its name from saddle makers.

The village was previously designated as a town (belde) before being reorganized in 2013. In 1986, it was declared a seat of township. The local economy is primarily supported by forestry and a textile factory, though the area also shows promise for tourism development.
