History
It was founded in 250 BC as Theodoria by Theodorus of Athamania.[4]
In 1793, the historic Monastery of Panagia was built, where during the Turkish occupation it is said that a secret school operated and part of it was turned into a makeshift hospital and a refuge for resistance fighters.[5]
Since 1997, Theodorians were against the construction of hydroelectric dams in the two main rivers of the village by Michaniki SA and Terna Energy SA. In the end, only one of them was built, while for the rest, after a decision of the CoC, their construction was prevented.
In 2011, during the local government reform, it merged with Agnanta, Athamania, and Melissourgoi to form the municipality of Central Tzoumerka.
