Özet:

 As of the beginning and end of the 19 th century, it is possible to say that the ethnic structure in the Ottoman Empire exhibited a structure articulated to economic and social life. Mersin has shown a rapid urban and commercial development in the recent periods when the Ottoman Empire was opened to capitalist influence. Factors such as the world conjuncture, the geographically advantageous location of Mersin and the ethnic diversity of the population have had a significant impact on this. In the early years of its establishment, Mersin began to become a center of attraction with its fertile lands and commercial potential due to its location on the sea coast. Non-Muslim immigrant merchants and their families, who came from different places and settled in the city, ethnically diversified the population, while creating an immigrant city identity in Mersin. These immigrant, merchant families, rather than the Muslim section, engaged in entrepreneurial activities in the commercial and industrial areas of the city. One of these entrepreneurial immigrant families is the Mavromati Family, which is known for their contributions to the urban and commercial development of Mersin and their charity work.

 19. Yüzyıl başları ve sonları itibariyle, Osmanlıda etnik yapının ekonomik ve sosyal yaşama eklemlenmiş bir yapı sergilediğini söylemek mümkündür. Mersin, Osmanlının kapitalist etkiye açıldığı son dönemlerinde hızlı bir kentsel ve ticari gelişim göstermiştir. Bunda dünya konjonktürü, Mersinin coğrafi olarak avantajlı konumu ve nüfusun etnik çeşitliliği gibi unsurların önemli etkisi olmuştur. İlk kuruluş yıllarında verimli toprakları ve deniz kıyısında oluşundan kaynaklı ticari potansiyeli ile Mersin bir çekim merkezi haline gelmeye başlamıştır. Farklı yerlerden gelerek kente yerleşen gayri müslim göçmen tüccarlar ve aileleri nüfusu etnik açıdan çeşitlendirirken, Mersinde bir göçmen kenti kimliği oluşturmuşlardır. Kentte ticaret ve sanayi alanlarda Müslüman kesimden ziyade bu göçmen, tüccar aileler girişimci faaliyetlerde bulunmuşlardır. Bu girişimci göçmen ailelerden biri de Mersinin kentsel ve ticari gelişimine sağladıkları katkılarla ve yaptıkları hayır işleriyle de anılan Mavromati Ailesidir.
