of whom 795 were Macedonians and 185 Greek (Prosfigi from Kavkaz). The
residents were employed in agriculture and less so with raising livestock
and other necessary trades.
During the Greek Civil War, the residents took little part in the organization
of NOF and the armed forces of DAG led by KPG. They had 6 active fighters
