GYPSOCHORI (Settlement) PELLA
The church of Agios Athanasios (1851) bears witness to the age of
Gypsohori. Unfortunately, there are no written records about its history. Nobody
knows precisely how Gypsohori named after. According to a version, this name is
ascribed to Bey’s daughter, Yupsan, who lived in the village. The whole settlement
was assigned by this name. Later, the village was named Yupsovo. At the point,
where the town square is situated nowadays, there was the Bey's lodgings. It was
a big, two-storey building that was pulled down in the mid years of 20th century.
It's said that there was a second lodging at the entrance of the village.
During the Macedonian Struggle, the residents had intensively participated
in the attempt for freedom of the area from Turkish and Bulgarian rule. In the
exceptional historical novel "In the secrets of the bog" by Penelope
Delta, many names of fighters from Gypsohori are reported. In 1928 refugees from
the Black Sea area moved to the village. The community of Gypsohori was constituted
in 1951 and it included the settlement of Trifili.
However, in 1977 the authorities were transported to Trifili and the new community
of Trifili was constituted, including the village of Gypsohori as a settlement.

TRIFYLLI (Village) GIANNITSA
In the beggining of the last century Trifiltsovo, such as Trifili
was named, had a few houses and was surrounded by bogs. The areas of Tsaira and
Nisi, western of the village, constituted Roumani, a place of bushy sprouting
and many springs of water. The river Mpalitzas passes from the east side of the
village, where there was a bog with a great variety of fauna. After the drying
of the bog, the land was shared to the residents and until now consists the most
fertile area of the community. In 1922 refugees from the Black Sea area came to
the village and in 1924 more refugees came from Thrace.
The residents dealt with stockbreeding and the cultivation of trefoil,
sesame, corn, wheat, vine, mulberry and the production of cocoons of silk and
wine. The settlement belonged to the community of Drosero until 1951, when it
became a member of the community of Gypsohori. In 1977 was created the community
of Trifili with the settlement of Gypsohori. Since 1948, when Drosero was burned,
until 1955 the police station of Drosero functioned in Trifili. In 60's - 70's
there was a strenuous immigration of the residents to Germany, America and Australia.
