Nasrettinhoca (formerly Hortu) is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Sivrihisar, Eskişehir Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 414 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3][4] It is situated along a tributary of Sakarya River. The distance to Sivrihisar is 26 kilometres (16 mi) and to Eskişehir is 116 kilometres (72 mi).
The town is a historical settlement and it is named after Nasrettin Hoca, the famous Turkish popular philosopher and satirist of the 13th century. The town municipality claims that he was born in a historical house of the town, (now under restoration) in 1208.[5] (However there are other claimants for Nasrettin Hoca's home like Akşehir) Like most other Central Anatolian towns, the town loses population because of migration to cities.
