History
The eyalet was established in 1533.{{cite book|author=Hakan Özoğlu|title=Osmanlı devleti ve Kürt milliyetçiliği|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IA4z1ryrhNQC&pg=PA77|access-date=2013-06-26|year=2005|publisher=Kitap Yayinevi Ltd.|isbn=978-975-6051-02-3|page=77|quote=I.

This revolt was combined with Jelali Revolts (the uprising of the provincial musketeers called the Celali), backed by Iran and lasted until 1628.
It was one of the first Ottoman provinces to become a vilayet after an administrative reform in 1865, and by 1867 it had been reformed into the Erzurum Vilayet.{{cite book|title=Almanach de Gotha: annuaire généalogique, diplomatique et statistique|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=luUq1szHJWYC&pg=PA829|access-date=2013-06-01|year=1867|publisher=J.
