The first general population census was completed in 1831 in the Ottoman territory in this sense, and later the records were updated in the form of population surveys. When the population books kept together with the counts started to be sent to the center, organizational structures related to the subject started to be formed in Istanbul and in the provinces. Kütahya was the center of the Anatolian Beylerbeylik since the second half of the 15th century and the center of Hüdavendigar province since 1841.
