Polla Nera (Πολλά Νερά) Imathia
Polla Nera is a village in the municipality of Heroic City Naoussa, Imathia, in the Central Macedonia Region.[1] At the 2011 census, it had a population of 139.[2]
Name
Until the end of 1926, the village was called Fetissa[3] or Fetista[4], which was associated with the wintering of the Vlachs living in Ano Grammatikos. The specific seasonal settlement was located in a nearby location known as Fetitsa or Kantikioi[5].
General and historical information
Polla Nera is located at an altitude of 150 meters, at the northern end of the prefecture of Imathia, near the border with the prefecture of Pella, 26 kilometers northwest of the city of Veroia. Near the village was the Fetitsa estate, where groups of Arvanitovlach herders had been wintering since the second half of the 19th century. There was an older settlement in the same location, which was destroyed in 1822, during the Greek Revolution[6].
During the Macedonian Struggle, Bulgarian comitatists who collaborated with the Rumanovlachs of the Upper Grammatikos and the local Ottoman bey, extended their activities to Fetitsa from 1904. This development provoked a reaction from the Ottomans with the creation of a military outpost, but also from a portion of the seasonal residents of Fetitsa who received permits to carry weapons and at the same time requested their reconnection with the Ecumenical Patriarchate[7]. After the Balkan Wars and the incorporation of the region into Greece, Fetitsa was mentioned in 1913 as a manor house rented by residents of Ano Grammatiko and had 74 makeshift houses[8], in which 514 residents were recorded in the census of the same year[9]. At the same time, it was subordinated to the then prefecture of Pella[3].
The modern settlement was created after the Asia Minor Catastrophe and the subsequent population exchange between Greece and Turkey and in 1926 received its current name[3], while in the 1928 census it numbered 340 residents[4][9], among whom were 33 Pontian refugee families from the village of Deredam (Deredam koyu) in the province of Zara in Sebasteia tou Pontus[10]. During the interwar period, a Romanian school operated in the village - specifically in the Vlach-speaking village -[11]. After the destruction of Ano Grammatiko by the German Occupation forces, its inhabitants took refuge in the village within the boundaries of Polla Nera, which was abandoned in the following years[12]. After the war, Polla Nera was subordinated to the prefecture of Imathia and until 1997 belonged to the province of Naoussa[3]. It was then incorporated into the municipality of Anthemia[13], while since 2011 it belongs to the municipality of Heroic City of Naoussa[3]. The main source of income of the inhabitants is agriculture and livestock farming. Since 2018, the TAP natural gas pipeline has been passing through Polla Nera, while a new natural gas pipeline is being constructed from 2023, which is intended for the consumption needs of the prefectures of western Macedonia. The village's Church is dedicated to Agios Dimitrios the Myrovlitis.
