It is the seat of Kozlu District.[2] Its population is 43,140 (2022).[1] It is a relatively new town, founded after coal deposits around Zonguldak were discovered. In 1926 the coal company of Kozlu was founded. In 1936 the government of Turkey bought Kozlu's coal mines and the surrounding other mines.[3] At the present Kozlu is a typical mining town. It consists of 9 neighbourhoods: Merkez, Güney, Ihsaniye, Kılıç, 19 Mayıs, Taşbaca, Fatih Sitesi, Esenköy and Yahma.[4]
