It is known that the use of windmills began in the first century AD, whose operating systems were developed in Mesopotamia. Although it is known that the work of these mills is limited to the process of grinding grain, they were used to pump water as well. The Turks also began building windmills in 600-650, which were popular in Anatolia. As for the Bozcaada windmill, it stopped working 50 years ago, and today it is a special attraction for tourists.
