''[[wikt:ordu#Turkish|Ordu]]'' is the word for 'army' in current [[Turkish language|Turkish]], originally meaning 'army camp', during the Ottoman Empire an army outpost was set up near the present day city. The city, and later the province, derived its name from this.

Walking in the high pastures is now a popular excursion for Turkish holidaymakers. The higher altitudes are covered in forest.
