== Name ==
Suluova was known in antiquity as Arguma, meaning watery. This was later translated into Turkish first as Suluca and later as Suluova, meaning watery plain. Two-thirds of the district lies on the plain (watered by the Tersakan River), one-third in the surrounding mountain forest. The land is dry and strong winds whip over the mountains from the Black Sea so Suluova is notorious for its dust storms. Özhan Öztürk claims that Argoma means border settlement/base at Hittite-Kaskians border erha
