Vezirköprü 韦济尔克普吕
Vezirköprü is a district of Samsun Province of Turkey.
At the breakup of Alexander the Great's empire the Vezirköprü region became part of the kingdom of Pontus with its capital at Amaseia (Amasya), later at Sinope (Sinop). When the last king Mithradates VI was defeated by the Romans, Pompey the Great founded a "new city", Neapolis (Greek:Νεάπολις), which later changed its name to Neoklaudioupolis (Greek:Νεοκλαυδιούπολις) or Neoclaudiopolis in Latin, the forerunner of modern Vezirköprü. In late antiquity, the town returned to its original name, Andrapa, and became a bishopric.
