Lefke Municipality, established in April 1900, is the first Turkish municipality. Although there were Greek Cypriot council members, the mayors have always been Turkish Cypriots.<\/p>

Serving only within the town centre before 1974, Lefke Municipality reached its present extent by incorporating Denizli, Gemikona\u011f\u0131 and Yedidalga in 1975; Cengizk\u00f6y, Yukar\u0131 Cengizk\u00f6y and Ye\u015filyurt in 1993; Ba\u011fl\u0131k\u00f6y in 1998; \u00d6merli and Bademlik\u00f6y in 1999; and Do\u011fanc\u0131, Gaziveren, Ye\u015fil\u0131rmak, \u00c7aml\u0131k\u00f6y and Ta\u015fp\u0131nar in 2007.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
