Triantafyllia (Greek: Τριανταφυλλιά; Bulgarian and Macedonian: Лаген or Лагино) is a village in the municipality of Florina, West Macedonia, Greece. The village is set amongst the mountains of Northern Greece, on the slopes of Mount Vernon. The town has stone architecture.[citation needed]
Pre–war and post–war immigration from Triantafyllia led to the formation of a diaspora and most of the village population lives abroad in the northern suburbs of Melbourne in Australia.[2]
History
[edit]According to Ethnographie des vilayets d'Andrinople: de Monastir, et de Salonique, which was published in 1878, the village had 80 houses and a population of 200 males, all recorded as Bulgarians.[3] According to statistics collected by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village had a population of 520, all Bulgarians.[4] According to statistics collected by Dimitar Mishev (under the pseudonym "Brancoff") in 1905, the village had a population of 504, all Bulgarian Patriarchists, with one Patriarchist primary school, one teacher and 12 students.[5]
In 1927, the name of the village was changed from Λάγενη (Lágeni) to Τριανταφυλλιά (Triantafylliá).[6]
