KozyataÃÂñ is a neighborhood in the municipality and district of Kadñköy, Istanbul Province, Turkey. Its population is 37,743 (2022). It is bordered on the northeast by the D.100 Highway and the Ataà Âehir neighborhood of ðçerenköy, on the southeast by the Kadñköy neighborhood of Bostancñ, on the southwest by the Kadñköy neighborhood of Suadiye, and on the northwest by the Kadñköy neighborhood of 19 Mayñs.
The name of the neighborhood is said to have come from walnut trees that were once abundant in the area (Turkish: koz ("walnut") + yatak ("bed").
In Ottoman times, the region that now includes KozyataÃÂñ was made up of farms and farming villages, with a significant Turkish population. In the 19th century, even though a few mansions were built in the area, the development taking place in the neighborhoods to the south, near the Sea of Marmara, did not come to KozyataÃÂñ. Nevertheless, the population grew enough that in 1906 KozyataÃÂñ was separated from ðçerenköy and officially established as a neighborhood on its own.
With new transportation links, such as the Ankara Road (now the D.100) in the 1950s and the connection to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge in the 1980s, much construction came to the neighborhood. In 1991, KozyataÃÂñ was split into the 19 Mayñs and KozyataÃÂñ neighborhoods.
