Summary/Abstract: Dimetoka is one of the Balkan towns that remained under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for about 5.5 centuries. It can be accepted among the places that the Ottomans conquered in the first period in Rumelia. Today, it is located in the Evros/Meriç region within the borders of Greece. Dimetoka is located in the settlement zone of the Ottoman state in Rumelia. It is known that Turkish and Muslim people were brought from Anatolia for the settlement and development of the city. In order to realize the settlement policy in the city, the Ottomans adopted the people they settled in the region to the timar, waqf, and mülk systems. Therefore, it can be said that Dimetoka is a settlement where timars, waqfs, mülks, and farms are densely established. This article focuses on the identification of mülks in Dimetoka and their transformation into Waqf and Timar.
