History[]

In the Ottoman Empire[]

In 1891 Georgi Strezov wrote:

Palmesh, several neighbourhoods on the west of Poroy [modern name of Ano Poroia], 6 hours drive at the foot of Belasitsa and Pear mountain. Approximately 200 houses, all Pomaks. They speak Bulgarian with a slight difference from Poroy; they dress in a special red garment-anther and poturi. They come to the market in Poroy with fish from Doiran Lake.[4]

According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia. Ethnography and Statistics") by 1900 "Palmesh" ("Palmesha") is a Bulgarian Muslims' settlement . 1150 Bulgarian Muslims were living there at the time. [5]
