History

Originally, the village was located 2 km north, at the Palaiochoria site. Its Ottoman name was Delimosluk which was eventually corrupted to Delimis. The new village was founded in 1922 and renamed to Delitio. Due to the benefaction of the shipping magnate Eugenios Eugenidis, who provided for the village's water supply, it was later given its current name.
