History of the name Piribeyli

"Piribeyli", which means the lord of the Pirs, because it was the education center where the Madrasah-i Ilmiye school was located until the Republic era, and that these scholars were masters in their profession. The people of the region often called the village ''Pirlerin beyi'' it evolved and remained as Piribeyli.

Origin

The people of Piribeyli are descendants of Karabag Turkmen lords (Kahyalar, Oğulları, Çakırlar, Aliağalar, Avcıoğulları) that are closely related to the Karluk and Oghuz Turks that came from Central Asia about a thousand years ago. They first established their settlements in Harput (now, Elazığ) and Atlantı in Eastern Anatolia. Afterwards they migrated to the steppes of Central Anatolia in the modern city of Konya. Some of them moved further to modern Emirdağ and established various settlements like Davulga (Tavulga) and some even moved further to the west.

Culture

The people managed to keep some of their Turkmen traditions that they inherited from their ancestors like molybdomancy (kurşun dökme) and kırk uçurma. Nowadays it's mostly based on Sunni Turkish traditions and the influence of European culture, mainly by the immigrants that frequently visit their village.

Before the modernization (pre-World War I) the people used to work more on the fields than now. Some of them even used to stay in traditional Turkic yurts (gers) in summer times.

Religion

Mostly Sunni muslims with an Alevi and Tengriist minority.

Important places

In the Old Piribeyli Town Municipality Park, there are many ancient tomb steles, architectural pieces and pithoses from the Likaonian period and many tumuluses were found around Piribeyli. Former local people were Pissian citizens.

Economic status

The main livelihood of the townspeople is farming and animal husbandry. The majority of the people work as guestworkers in Europe. 90% of the population live outside of the town since 2016.
