Adrasan: The Land of the Mother Goddess
It is estimated that the name of the town of Adrasan comes from the word 'Adrasos' used in the Luwian language. The word Adrasos means 'Land of the Mother Goddess' in this language. The name of the city was first mentioned in a document from the 1400s.
Evliya Çelebi, who visited the Adrasan region in 1655, said, “And the slums below are houses covered with earth. There are mosques, baths and houses. And even this one has a lot of lemon orange. And there is no end in the vineyard and garden,' he explained Adrasan with the sentences.
Although the name "Çavuşköy" was given in the 1960s, nobody uses this name because it does not adopt this name. It is understood from the remaining ruins that it was home to many civilizations in ancient times.
