Abstract
Koldere is a small municipality of Saruhanli district of Manisa. It was a farm of Karaosmanoglu notable family until the 19th century. Even after notables loss of power, the large part of the land remained as the property of Karaosmanoglu Sadik Bey. When analysis the 1844-1845 temettuat register of the farm, it is seen the fact that the place was organized as a form of a village. However, the farm also plays an important role in agricultural production, as well as small ruminants. Furthermore, in the mid 19th century, almost all of the Koldere population consists of the Ottoman Greeks.
