History
In February 1913 the town liberated from the Greek army thus ending Ottoman's occupation. During the Nazi occupation of Greece (1941-1944) many local Albanian-spoken inhabitants (see Cham Albanians), under an Axis-backed organisation called K.S.I.L.I.A., actively collaborated with the occupational forces in fighting the resistance forces (see EDES, ELAS), committing murders and burning down towns of the area. After the liberation they succeeded to evade prosecution for collaboration and atrocities by fleeing the country together with their families to the nearby Albania with the help of the retreating German forces (2,109 of them convicted in absentia). Postwar Albanian authorities installed them in the valley of Mouzakia, also prosecuting many of them as nazi-colaborationists.
