On This Day

On this day in 1930, the Turkish cities of Constantinople and Angora changed their names to Istanbul and Ankara, respectively, as part of the modernization efforts of the new Turkish Republic. This symbolic act marked a shift in the country’s identity and its embrace of a more Westernized outlook. Sixty years later, They Might Be Giants would memorialize this act in the song Istanbul (Not Constantinople).
