Its adjacent provinces are [[Samsun Province|Samsun]] to the northwest, [[Tokat Province|Tokat]] to the southwest, [[Sivas Province|Sivas]] to the south, and [[Giresun Province|Giresun]] to the east.

[[File:Ordu taşbaşı kilisesi.jpg|thumb|Church of Hypapante ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Ναός της Υπαπαντής του Χρηστού, [[Turkish language|Turkish]]: Taşbaşı Kilisesi)]]
==Etymology==
[[File:Orducitycenter3.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ordu]] is the capital of the province.]]
''[[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.
 
Ordu is a strip of [[Black Sea]] coast and the hills behind, historically an agricultural and fishing area and in recent years, tourism has seen an increase, mainly visitors from [[Russia]] and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], as Ordu boasts some of the best beaches, rivers, and lush, green mountains on the Black Sea coast. Walking in the high pastures is now a popular excursion for Turkish holidaymakers. The higher altitudes are covered in forest.
 
[[Melet River]], [[Bolaman River]], [[Elekçi River]], [[Turnasuyu|Turnasuyu Stream]], [[Akçaova Stream]] and [[Civil Stream]] are the main rivers of the province. The topography of the province is not conducive to lake formation and only two major lakes, [[Gaga Lake]] and [[Ulugöl]], are present in Ordu.<ref>{{cite book|title=Ordu İli Doğa Turizmi Master Planı|publisher=Turkish Ministry of Forestry and Water Management|pages=24–5|url=http://bolge11.ormansu.gov.tr/11bolge/Files/DogaTurizmiMasterPlan/Ordu%20Do%C4%9Fa%20Turizmi%20Master%20Plan%C4%B1.pdf|accessdateaccess-date=25 June 2016}}</ref>
 
==Economy==
The economy of the province depends on [[agriculture]]. Ordu is famous for [[hazelnut]]s. Turkey as a whole produces about 70 percent of the world's hazelnuts,<ref>[http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/003/X4484E/x4484e03.htm Inventory Of Hazelnut Research, Germplasm And References<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and Ordu is the chief producer in Turkey, responsible for 150,000–180,000 tonnes per year, which amounts to around 30% of Turkey's production. Hazelnuts production takes around 88% of Ordu's arable land, the remainder mainly consists of corn and wheat fields. Whilst covering only 0.1% of the arable land of the province, Ordu's [[Kiwifruit|kiwi]] production is the second largest in the country after [[Yalova Province|Yalova]]. [[Beekeeping]] is also important in Ordu, which produced in 2010 12.8% of honey produced in Turkey.<ref>{{cite book|title=Ordu İli Doğa Turizmi Master Planı|publisher=Turkish Ministry of Forestry and Water Management|pages=30–1|url=http://bolge11.ormansu.gov.tr/11bolge/Files/DogaTurizmiMasterPlan/Ordu%20Do%C4%9Fa%20Turizmi%20Master%20Plan%C4%B1.pdf|accessdateaccess-date=25 June 2016}}</ref>
 
==Demographics==
In recent decades many people from Ordu have migrated away to jobs in [[Istanbul]], [[Bursa]], [[Samsun]], [[Adapazarı|Sakarya]] or abroad (espacially to [[Austria]]).▼
Mostly [[Chepni people|Chepni]] [[Turkish people|Turks]] and other [[Oghuz Turks]] live here and the province is home to a minority of [[Cheveneburi]] [[Georgians]].<ref>[http://www.chveneburi.net/sp/bpg/publication_view.asp?iabspos=1&vjob=vdocid,156009 Chveneburi.Net :: Yeni Sayaca Köyü – Ulubey – Ordu<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
