The Sanjak of Shahrizor (Kurdish: سەنجەقی شارەزوور, Ottoman Turkish: سنجاق شهرزور), previously the Sanjak of Baban,[1] later briefly renamed to the Sanjak of Kirkuk (Kurdish: سەنجەقی کەرکووک) (Ottoman Turkish: سنجاق كركوك), was a second-level administrative division (Sanjak) of the Ottoman Empire, founded in 1534. The name Shahrizor comes from the region of the same name, which likely means "kingly forest".[2] The capital and largest city of the sanjak was Kirkuk. The sanjak was made up of 1,712 Villages across 6 Kazas and 17 Nahiyahs. The Shahrizor Sanjak was initially a sanjak of the Eyalet of Shahrizor,[2] though later it was part of the Mosul vilayet, lying between the Mosul and Sulaymaniyah Sanjak.[3]: 173 It was dissolved with the Armistice of Mudros in 1918.
