History

The village was inhabited by Armenians prior to the Armenian genocide.[3] In the 1930s, a rich Jewish landlord from Aintab possessed a lot of land in the village, which was noted as Kurdish.[4] The village is inhabited by Muhacir Turks from Thessaloniki who settled in the village after the population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[5]
