History
The ancient city Eupagion (Ευπάγιον) was located in the area of present Drosia. The revolutionary leaders Konstantinos Giannias and Giorgos Giannias, who fought against the Ottoman Empire, were born in Drosia. Drosia became a part of the municipality of Erymanthia in 1836. It was part of the municipality of Tritaia between 1841 and 1912. It was an independent community between 1912 and 1998, and again part of Tritaia between 1998 and 2011. Since 2011, it is part of the municipality of Erymanthos.[3]
