In the early 1900s, 680 Slavonic speaking Christians and 125 Muslim Albanians lived in the village. The present day village has some 20 Christian Macedonian-speaking families. The village also had a separate neighbourhood "Shaoftsi" () that was inhabited by Muslims and later repopulated by "prosfiges" (Greek refugees) after the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey (1923).
