The best way to see the Tanzimat-Era Ottoman provincial reforms concretely is to look at their application areas and implementers. Undoubtedly, one of the important factors determining the level of success of this process, which was carried out with the administrative organization at the level of province, sanjak, district and township, which was shaped to a large extent after 1871, and the civil chiefs at the head of them, is undoubtedly the provincial administrators. From this point of view, the reflections of the reforms of the state can be observed in the Akçadağ district, which was connected to the Malatya sanjak between 1870-1920. In parallel with the administrative developments that took place in the fifty-year period, thirty-five district governors appointed from the center served in the Akçadağ district. As in the province and sanjak level, leaving the duty and taking office frequently in the district administration naturally brought along administrative instability. One reason for this is the administrative weaknesses and personal problems revealed by the district governors, while the other reason is the investigations caused by the complaints made by the local citizens. The district governors were accompanied administratively by other officials such as the district administrative council, the naib, the property manager, the registration clerk, the civil registry officer, the ballot box trustee and the telegraph officer. In the administrative decisions of the district governors, their upbringing and administrative experience are of great importance. For this reason, his previous duties, birth dates, educational status, appointment and relocation procedures, and developments such as retirement, salary, investigation and punishment are discussed in detail in many aspects. Akçadağ, which preserved its position at the end of the period, was transferred to the Republic as a district of Malatya. It maintains this status even today.
