==History==
[[File:Kastamonu_Cumhuriyet_Meydanı_Anıt.JPG|thumb|Kastamonu Republic Monument]]
 
It is not definitively known when Kastamonu was first founded. However, some sources{{which|date=July 2013}} dating back to the Early [[Middle Ages]] refer to the province. There are also some archeological findings that date to about 100,000{{Citation needed|date=March 2007}} years that suggest the region was inhabited at that time.
 
There are many ideas about the derivation of the name Kastamonu:
There are theories{{which|date=July 2013}} that the word ''Kastamonu'' derives from ''Castra Comnenus'', the Latin name of the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] castle built by the [[Comnenus]] dynasty.
 
According to the first view, it should be considered that the name Kastamonu is Turkishized from the name [[Paphlagonia|Paphlagonía]][Greek "land of Paphlagon (people)"]. The region covering the [[West Black Sea Region (statistical)|West Black Sea]] and Central Black Sea regions was called Paphlagonia before the [[Turkic peoples|Turks]]. Today, Kastamonu, [[Sinop, Turkey|Sinop]], [[Bartın]], [[Çankırı]] and [[Karabük]] are located in this region, while parts of [[Çorum]], [[Bolu]], [[Zonguldak]] and [[Samsun]] provinces remain within the region. The Paphlagonians, who dominated this region in 1000 BC, gave their name to this geography.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Nijman |first=Jan |title=Geography: Realms, Regions, and Concepts |date=2020 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-1119607410 |edition=20.}}</ref>
With the weakening of the [[Macedon]] kings, the [[Paphlagonia]] and [[Bithynia]] regions were engulfed by the newly formed [[Kingdom of Pontus|Pontus]] kingdom. After the fall of the Pontus kingdom in first century BC, the area was incorporated by the [[Roman Empire]] by joining Paphlagonia with Bithynia. The capital center of this new city-state was [[Pompeiopolis]], of which the remains still stand near [[Tasköprü]] District in Kastamonu.
 
According to a second opinion, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the name Kastama, which was used for the same region in the [[Hittites|Hittite]] period. The name Kastama turned into Kastamonu over time.<ref>Ahmet Ünal, Hititler Devrinde Anadolu Cilt 2, syf. 54</ref>
The region then fell under the hegemony of the [[Seljuq Turks|Seljuq]] dynasty (11th century [[Common Era|CE]]), followed by the [[Danishmend]]s, the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]]s during the [[crusade]]s, Çobanoğlu and [[Jandarids|Jandarid]] [[Anatolian beyliks|beyliks]]. The [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] sultan [[Beyazid I]] conquered the province in 1392; however, following his capture and death in [[Battle of Ankara]], the area was granted back to the Çandaroğlu by the [[Mongol]] warlord [[Timur Lenk]]. Ottoman sultan [[Mehmed II]] incorporated the region back into the empire in 1461.
 
According to another view, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the combination of the words Gas and Tumanna. Gas, or better known as Kashkas, are among the first settlers of Kastamonu. Tumanna is the name of a city/region located on Kastamonu at that time. The combination of these two words took the form of Kastamonu over time.<ref>Talat Mümtaz Yaman, Kastamonu Tarihi, syf. 175</ref>
During the Ottoman reign, the province boundaries were expanded up to reach [[Constantinople]]. The sultan's heirs were often sent to rule the province as governors to gain experience.
 
According to a third opinion, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the combination of the words Kastra and Komnen. The word Kastra means "castle" in Latin. The Komnens are a [[List of Roman dynasties|Byzantine Dynasty]] and the settlers of this region during the Byzantine period. These two words took the form of Kastamonu over time.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archived Copy |url=http://www.kastamonukultur.gov.tr/TR-63806/tarihce.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180930193226/http://www.kastamonukultur.gov.tr/TR-63806/tarihce.html |archive-date=30 September 2018}}</ref>
After the [[First World War]], during the battles of the [[Turkish War of Independence]], Kastamonu played an important role in the supply of ammunition and troops to the [[İnebolu]]–[[Ankara]] front, transporting the war machines that would arrive to İnebolu by sea from [[Istanbul]] (Constantinople) and the [[Soviet Union|Soviets]]. When the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922)|Greeks]] noticed this activity, the İnebolu port was bombarded from the sea on 9 June 1921.

During the Ottoman reign, the province boundaries were expanded up to reach [[Constantinople]]. The sultan's heirs were often sent to rule the province as governors to gain experience.
The province is mostly covered with forests, thanks to the mild Black Sea climate. [[Mount Ilgaz National Park|Ilgaz National Park]], where a micro-climate dominates due to the mountainous terrain and numerous streams, is 63&nbsp;km south of the province center of Kastamonu. There is also a ski center with accommodation facilities located near the park.
 
[[Ilgaz Mountains|Ilgaz Mountain]] (highest peak 2587 m) dominates the south of the province where hiking and [[whitewater rafting]] is possible at the [[Ilgaz Stream]]. The [[Ilgarini cave]] at [[Cide]], the Alinca cave at [[Küre, Kastamonu|Küre]] and the [[International Equestrian Tourism Center]] of [[Daday]] are other notable attractions.

A 12th-century Byzantine castle, the 13th-century [[Atabey Mosque]] and the [[Ibni Neccar Mosque]] also located in the province. The [[Mahmut Bey Mosque]], located in the village of [[Kasaba, Turkey|Kasaba]] is known for its elegant wood carvings.
