History

The village was founded by the Ottoman Turks. Its inhabitants were 3/4 Bulgarian and 1/4 Turkish before the village was annexed by Greece from Bulgaria in 1920 and before the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), when Greek refugees from Eastern Thrace and Asia Minor settled into the village. Its Turkish name was changed to the current Zoni.
