History

In the Ottoman tahrir defteri (number 101) of 1521, the settlement is recorded as a village with the name İvlahoyan. In 1531, Vlachogianni is mentioned in an Ottoman bey's will. In the end of the 16th century the main occupation of the people's residents was the cultivation of Cannabis sativa. In the beginning of the 19th century the village became a chiflik of Ali Pasha.

In the early 1900s, Vlachogianni was being used as a winter residence by semi-nomadic Aromanians; they were Farsherots, and Pindeans from certain villages in the region of Grevena. Between 1913 and 1914, there were 268 Aromanians that were wintering in Vlachogianni, out of a total population of 689 residents.
