History edit

Serdivan was established as a village in the 17th century during the Ottoman Empire era primarily with Greek population. Its former name was Petrades. However according to the compulsory population exchange agreement Greek population left the village and the Turks from Greece were settled in the village. Later other Turkish immigrants in 1928 from Albania, in 1934 from Bulgaria and in 1951 from Yugoslavia were also settled in the village. As the population increased it merged to the province center (Adapazarı) which is close to Serdivan. In 2008 the district Serdivan was created from part of the former central district of Adapazarı/Sakarya Province, along with the districts Adapazarı, Arifiye and Erenler.[4][5]
