History
Archaeological research reveals the plain has a long past, going back to prehistoric times, and findings during the excavation of the Bitik Höyük mound date back to the copper age.[5]
Kahramankazan today
Today the area is a popular weekend retreat for the people of Ankara. Kahramankazan is a busy small town. Industry in the city includes a brewery and a cement factory.
Opened in November 2011, the Turkish Satellite Assembly, Integration and Test Center (UMET), is situated in the Fethiye neighborhood of the city.
A large trona ore deposit, which lays 600 m (2,000 ft) underground, is mined and processed by Kazan Soda Elektrik of Ciner Holding in the city.[6]
The town was renamed Kahramankazan (Hero Kazan) in 2016 due to the role of local residents in opposing the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt.[7]
