Puckeville, the French traveller, stated in his book Travels in Greece (1820) that Koukouvista had 75 families. During the Greek Revolution of 1821, the contribution of Koukouvista was important to fighters, with Papandrias (Papandreas Moris) being the one who led the way fighting next to Athanasios Diakos in the Battle of Alamana and Odysseas Androutsos at the Hani of Gravia who participated in the battle of Vassilika, Fthiotida. In the area of Koukouvista called Polemistra, the militants fortified themselves with Papandrias and the Kontogiannis and set up an ambush on the Turks who had earlier burned the huts of the people of Koukouvista. At the area of Koukouvista called Mnemata, people of Dermissa, Agoriani and Koukouvista, led by Gouras and Papandrias, clashed with the Turks, defeated them and buried the dead there. Then, at the Traka site, Komnas Trakas destroyed the enemy remnants who tried to escape.
