The population of Nižepole was made up of older inhabitants of Aromanians (Vlachs) and later Arvanito-Vlachs who formed a large part of the village population.[1] A small number of Muslim Albanians over time settled in Nižepole originating from the Korçë region.[1] During the first World War, Nižepole fell on the Allied side of the Macedonian front and its Aromanian villagers first fled to Florina and then most went to Katerini, Greece.[1] After the war, most Nižepole Aromanians preferred to remain in Katerini after a few returnees came back telling of the destruction of the village.[1] Only in 1923 with the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey and arrival of Greek refugees after the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922) did some Nižepole inhabitants return to the village.[1]
