Amuca tribe

The Amuca tribe (Turkish: Amuca Kabilesi) is one of the nomadic Yörüks who belong to the Oghuz Turks tribes[1] of the Ottoman Empire, which moved from Anatolia to the Balkans. At the end of 14th century, the tribe established a settled life in Ottoman Thrace. The first village they founded, was Keşirlik, located in the Mahya Dağı.

Today some of the Amuca tribe live in Kırklareli Province.
