History

[edit]

Before 1913 it was ruled by the Ottomans. The village was known as Dugantzi then. After a brief period of Bulgarian rule between 1913 and 1919, it became part of Greece. As a result, its Bulgarian and Turkish population was exchanged with Greek refugees, mainly from today's Turkey.
