Municipality
The municipality Kifisia wis formit at the 2011 local govrenment reform bi the merger o the follaein 3 umwhile municipalities, that became municipal units:
Antiquity
Kifisia, as Cephissia, dates back tae auncient times, alang wi the auncient municipality o Epicephesia. It wis the hame o the famous dramatist Menander (circa 342-291 BC). Kifisia haed acome a famous retreat o filosofers durin the reign o the Roman emperor Hadrian, whan the walthy Herodes Atticus o Marathon, Greece biggit the Villa Kifisia. In his Attic Nichts, Aulius Gellius descrieves the sindry ambiance o intellectual ferment an aristocratic leisur in an idyllic settin which he creatit thare. It wis the practice o Herodes tae provide free instruction in filosofie for selectit youths frae Athens an aw. The remains o the some o his faimily funeral monuments lee at the centre o the toun in Platonas Square. He bonnifee'd a sanctuar tae the Nymphs in the ravine o Kokkinara an aw, in the nearbi destrict o Kefalari.
Medieval period
The history o Kifisia durin the medieval period is obscur, but the remains o a monastery kirk dedicatit tae the Virgin o the Swallae (Panaghia Chelidonas) is associatit wi a story aboot a battle focht thare atween local fowk an unspecifee'd "invaders". This chapel is a rare example o a monastery kirk oreeginally providit wi a fireplace, for the chimney remains.
Ottoman Era
Durin Ottoman period, in 1667, Kifisia wis visitit bi the Turkis traveler Evliya Tchelebi. He describit a smaw kintra toun set in a fertile plain o paradisaic brawness, wi three hunder tile-roofit hooses. Hauf the indwallers o the toun wur Muslims an hauf wur Christian. He records that thare wis a single mosque, athoot a minaret, an mony smaw Christian chapels - some o thaim survive the day.
Post Greek Unthirldom
The temperatur in Kifisia tends tae be significantly lawer than that o the ceety, sae follaein the unthirldom o Greece, it quickly became a simmer resort o the rulin cless o the new state.
Its popularity fadit somewha durin the middle o the Nineteent Century when the danger o raids bi brigands who infestit the nearbi muntains wis vera real. Housomeivver, the suppression o brigandage, an the arrival o the railwey in 1885, led tae the dramatic development o the aurie.
It became the fashion for walthy Athenian faimilies tae big simmer hooses in Kifisia, an keen social competeetion led tae the creation o a unique airchitectural ambiance, as villas in iver mair exotic styles proliferatit. For those unable tae afford a simmer hoose, mony hotels wur biggit, whaur the slichtly less affluent coud spend the holiday months rubbin shoulders wi thair social betters.
The heyday o Kifisia wis probably durin the inter-war period, when the leaders o the twa main rival poleetical pairties frequentit different hotels in the toun thegither wi thair maist important supporters.
Warld War II an Ceevil War
Follaein the leeberation o Greece frae German occupation in 1944, the Breetish Ryal Air Force ill-advisedly made its heidquairters in Kefalari, takkin ower several hotels. Wi the ootbreak o the Greek Ceevil War, the RAF personnel wur first besiegit, then forcit tae surrender, an mairchit athort the muntains intae northren Greece; bein released in Trikala anerly efter a truce haed been arrangit.
Modern Kifisia
The day, Kifisia is an upmercat shoppin centre, awtho mony villas hae been preservit.
In Julie 2007, residents panickit as Kifisia wis struck bi a bush fire the oreegins o which are said tae be arson relatit. The fire destroyed hintle o the eastren, pairtially forestit pairts o the aurie. It several hooses an biggins that haed been biggit near the forest boondaries but did no cause as hintle damage as the fire in the Penteli region. The fire lastit several oors, feenally bein put oot at aboot midnicht. Firefechters made uise o helicopters as well as airplanes tae battle the blaze.

Criffel
Etymologie
The name Criffel is recordit in 1273 as Crufel. The saicant pairt o the name, -fel, is aither Auld Scots or Northern Middle Inglis fell or Auld Norse fjall 'mountain'. Seein as Auld Norse fjall had been lent intae Middle Inglis by the twelfth century, it isnae possible tae sey gin the name wis gien by Scandinavian speakers or no. There's been sindry thochts anent the etymologie o the first pairt o the name. Criffel is recordit as Crofel in 1319 an in 1330 as Crefel. (Drummond gies the form Crafel in 1330, an aa; it isnae clear gin this refers tae the same source or no.) In 1892 Johnston pit forrit Gaelic crich 'boundary' + Icelandic fell in Place-Names of Scotland. Hooiver, by the saicant edition o 1903 he thocht a derivation fae Icelandic kryfja, meanin 'tae sinder' wis mair likely. In the third edition in 1934 this is the ainly derivation gien. Mills thinks the name is Auld Scandinavian kryfja + fjall an aa, but disnae think the derivation fae kryfja is siccar. In 1930 Maxwell pit forrit that the name wis fae Scandinavian kraka fjall, meanin 'corbie's or craw's hill' or fae Lowland Scots Craw Fell. William J. Watson rejected a derivation fae kraka fjall, seyin that it wid turn intae sumhin like Crackel. Geoffery Barrow thocht Criffel micht be taen fae the name Cro, whilk appears in Desnes Cro, the name o a deanery situatit atween the rivers Nith an Urr. Here Cro wid be the Gaelic wird fur bucht.
