Pamukkale, formerly known as Akköy, is a municipality and district of Denizli Province, Turkey. Its area is 823 km², and its population is 347,926. It first came into existence with the fusion of two small villages, Aziziye and Sultaniye in reference to the 19th century Ottoman sultan, founded by Dagestani refugees of the Russo-Turkish War. It officially acquired the status of a village in 1935 and became a township with its own municipality in 1971. Akköy became a district center in 1990. As a part of the 2013 local government reorganisation, it absorbed part of the former central district of Denizli, and was renamed to Pamukkale.
