Dünyada, tarihi çok eskilere dayanan yerel yönetimlerin, Türk idare kültürüne girmesi Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun son dönemlerine rastlamaktadır. Yerel yönetimler, bir geçiş sürecinden çok, zorunlu sebeplerden dolayı oluşturulmuş yeni yapılanmalardan biri olarak Osmanlı idari sistemine dahil edilmiştir.
