  1. In 1906, Alexandria train station was constructed by mistake in Dalaman and the building still exists and serves today as the headquarters of the state farm. The year before the construction (in 1905) the then Khedive of Egypt Abbas Hilmi Pasha had acquired a large part of the fertile plain and had decided to set up a plantation in the region. He had ordered the plans and the material for his projected residence here to his architects in France, at the same as the plans and the material for a train station for Alexandria in Egypt. Unfortunately, the two simultaneous shipments were misdirected, the materials for his residence heading towards Egypt, and the Alexandria train station ending up in Dalaman. Since it was going to be too expensive to re-ship everything to the right destination, the station was built in Dalaman anyway, with even a few miles of purposeless railway track.
