History

The castle of Makrochori is located 4 km west of the village, is considered a large organized facility. The settlement developed on the bank of the present river Livadopotamos, reaches up to a point, its citadel, and hosted an important mining center of Orestis since in many places volumes of iron ore were found.[3]

The name of the village before 1928 and during the Ottoman Empire was Konomladi (Greek: Κωνομπλάτη).[4] The name of the village in Bulgarian and Macedonian remains Кономлади, Konomladi.

A village in Petrich Municipality, Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria, is named Novo Konomladi (Bulgarian: Ново Кономлади, "New Konomladi"). This is because it was mostly populated by Bulgarian refugees from Makrochori who moved to Bulgaria after the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913.[5]
