Before the Greco-Turkish population exchange the village, called Bairakli, was inhabited exclusively by Turks. After the population exchange the village was resettled by Greek refugees. The original settlement was evacuated in 1980, as the Public Power Corporation of Greece expanded its lignite mines towards the village. The contemporary settlement of Exochi is adjacent to the community of Koila.
