In the wider area of the settlement, ancient findindings and tombs with rich burials have been found.[2] Especially on a tall and steep hill, known to the older inhabitants by the name of "Grandisnos", located about 4 km north of the village, parts of walls and foundations of an ancient castle are preserved.[3]
In 1866, the village was known as "Sfilinon" and had 725 Greek inhabitants.[4] According to the statistics of the Bulgarian geographer Vasil Kanchov, the village had 720 Orthodox Greek inhabitants by 1900.[5] Its inhabitants are engaged in agriculture, with the principal cultivation of tobacco, cereals, almonds and olives, as well as animal husbandry. Hunting is practised in the area as well.[6]
