History

Bulgarian refugees from Bulgarkyoi (nowadays Elinohori, north-western Greece), expelled by the Ottoman forces, 1913.

The village was founded by the Ottoman Turks and named after its mostly Bulgarian population. It was ceded to Bulgaria in 1915 along with the rest of the lower Evros (Maritsa) valley, but following the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly it became part of Greece. As a result its Bulgarian and Turkish population was exchanged with Greek refugees, mainly from today's Turkey.
