History

In June 1880 the Second Assembly of Frashër was organised by the League of Prizren.[4]

Ottoman Albanian spahis and landowners from nineteenth century Frashër owned estate properties (chiftlik) in parts of the Balkans and in particular the Thessalian plain, until its loss to Greece in 1881 leading to local economic decline and increasing reliance on agriculture.[5]

Demographics

Frashër village, which is the seat of the municipality, has a minority Aromanian population, who call the village "Farshari".[6] Their language is called fãrsherot.[7]
