Palaia Lykogianni (Παλαιά Λυκόγιαννη) Imathia
Palaia Lykogianni is a village in the Municipality of Veroia in Imathia. It has a real population of 161 residents (2011) and is located east of Veroia, at a distance of 16 km. from its center.
It is located in the plain of Imathia and consists of residences, areas for raising domestic animals and work. Around it there are intensive crops of all kinds of production, the main one being peaches. It is one of the smallest villages of Imathia.
300 m. north of the village and in an area of approximately 150 ha., which is cultivated, shells of various eras, mainly of the historical periods, were collected. The prehistoric sherds were found in this area where there was a large mound that has been leveled since the 1960s despite the designation of the area as an archaeological site (YA 15794/19-12-1961 - FET 35/B/2-2-1962). The surface pottery is abundant in quantity and chronologically places the installation at this location in the Late Neolithic period (approximately 5300 to 4500 BC). The categories of pottery that were distinguished are the following: a) Black polished, b) Brown or orange-red polished, c) Black-crowned and d) Uncoated. The most important sherd comes from an anthropomorphic vessel. Two tools were also collected, a fragmentary stone pickaxe and a scraper with a blade.
In the archives of the Veroia court dated 29/10/1844 there is the decision of the voluntary conversion to Islam of the Christian Sophia who took the name Aise Zimpas and divorced her Christian husband.
According to reports and reports of the Metropolitan of Veria and Naoussa Constantios Isaakidis to the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 1898, 24 Christian families lived in Lykovista, which he characterizes as ''homogeneous''. The leader of the Greek Captains was Nikolaos Arabatzis, who was born in Lykovista and acted as an agent of the Hoplites. He joined the body of Ath. Minopoulos and participated in battles against the Bulgarians and Turks in 1906-08.
The village church in honor of the Twelve Apostles (celebration June 30), a building from the second half of the 19th century, is considered an important monument. It preserves an iconostasis and icons from the time of its foundation in relatively good condition.
It forms, together with the neighboring village of Nea Lykogianni, from which they are separated by the drainage ditch 66, a single community.
In the census of Nea Chora in 1913, which followed the liberation, Lykovista, which belonged to the Verroia Sub-Administration of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki, had 109 inhabitants (63 residents, 46 households). In the 1920 census, Lykovista had 92 residents (50 males, 42 females). With the new name (changed in 1926), Lykogiannis in the Veroia District of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki reached 368 (191 males, 177 females) residents in the 1928 census. The censuses that followed showed the following population (in 1940 - as Palaios Lykogiannis -cat. 186 -89 males, 97 females-, in 1951 cat. 210, in 1961 cat. 224, in 1971 cat. 134, in 1981 cat. 206, in 1991 cat. 202, in 2001 cat. 122 and in 2011 cat. 161).
In the village, the residents are now mainly of Pontic origin.
