Kastamoni (Byzantine Kastamon) is the name of a city and province in Turkey today called Kastamonu but also referred to as Kastambol or Kastambolu. Another city in the province is Inepoli (Tr: Inebolu). Kastamoni is not within the borders of most maps depicting the historic region of Pontus.
The city is located at the base of a mountain at which a Byzantine fortress existed. Many believe that Kastamoni was originally called 'Kastron Komneni' (Kastron meaning castle in Greek and Komeneni referring to the Komnenos Empire of Pontus).

Prior to 1923 and the exchange of populations, Kastamoni had a population of 1,800 Greeks. Anna Comnenos refers to Kastamoni as the 'father city' in The Alexiad. From this many inferred that Kastamoni was the fatherland of the Komnenes.
