[[Nicomedes I of Bithynia]] founded the city of '''Nicomedia''' (Turkish - [[Izmit|İzmit]]), at the head of the [[Gulf of Astacus]] (which opens on the [[Propontis]]), in [[264 BC]] The city has ever since been one of the chief towns in this part of [[Asia Minor]]. It was the metropolis of [[Bithynia]] under the Roman empire (see [[Nicaea]]), and Diocletian made it the chief city of the Eastern Roman empire. Owing to its position at the convergence of the Asiatic roads to the new capital, Nicomedia retained its importance even after the foundation of [[Constantinople]] and its own capture by the [[Turks]] ([[1338]]).

The city had a sizable Greek population until the [[Asia Minor Disaster]] in [[1922]] and the exchange of populations. Refugees from Nicomedia founded Nea Nicomedia in the [[Imathia prefecture]] of Greece.

See C. Texier, ''Asie mineure'' (Paris, 1839); V. Cuenet, ''Turquie d'Asie'' (Paris, 1894).
