History

In 1873, Néokaza, at the time within the Lerin (Florina) kaza in Manastir Sanjak and Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire, was recorded as having 250 households and 630 male Bulgarian inhabitants.[3]

In the beginning of XX century the British journalist Henry Noel Brailsford noted Neocazi as "a poor Bulgarian hamlet on the plain not far from Florina", burnt by the Turks during the Ilinden Uprising.[4]
