Historical data

The village was founded under the name of New Peristasis after 1922, by refugees from Peristasi (present-day Şarköy of Eastern Thrace). Apart from the Thracians, in the last few years, Pontians and Vlachs have settled down. At the time of the axis occupation, 14 villagers were executed by the Nazis. Inside Peristasi there was the seat of the New Zealand Allies camp, which was hosted by residents of the nearby village, Kallithea. From 1947 until 1950, residents of Skoteina, who were struck by the rebels, settled in the village during the Civil War.

gollark: How would you implement this anyway? A contact form gated behind a "paste the output from this C program" box?
gollark: ... okay, just tell me and not anyone else if you find anything, so I can hopefully fix it.
gollark: No. I assume it's because I am not on any online dating things, and images of me are at least nontrivial to find.
