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: The indentation in that is *interesting*.
gollark: Presumably the end to end encryption thing? Although it would still have a lot of metadata.
gollark: That would somewhat defeat the point of having a decentralized platform thing.
gollark: Well, I might look at joining matrix or whatever then. One of the reasons I don't have any fediverse/whatever stuff set up is that I currently only have access to a free domain which might randomly decide to to unexist, and I don't want that to get stuck in remote config files everywhere.
gollark: I'd imagine it mostly attracts... open-source-stuff people, and also has smallish groups.
