Geography - History
Xanthogeia is located northeast of Lake Vegoritida at a distance of 23 km. W. from Edessa. It is a settlement which after the 1950s began to be gradually abandoned by its residents who moved mainly to the neighboring Nea Xanthogia. The remaining houses of the village follow the typical Macedonian architecture of the rural countryside and a characteristic feature is the stone-built bell tower of the church of Agios Dimitrios (1884). Of interest are the traditional cobblestone streets, the stone fountains with running water and several points that have a view of Mount Voras (Kaimaktsalan) or Lake Vegoritida.[2] It is the place of origin of the Slavo-Macedonian guerrilla of the Occupation and the Civil War, Irini Gini (Mirka Ginova).[3][4]
The old name of the village is Rosilovo or Rousilovo and this is how it is referred to after the liberation in 1918 with the Government Gazette 152A - 09/07/1918 when it was annexed to the then community of Ostrovos (Arnissa). In 1926 with the Government Gazette 97A - 18/03/1926 it was renamed Xanthogeia.[5] According to the Kallikratis program, together with the settlement of Arnissa, Agios Dimitrios, Drosia, and Nea Xanthogeia , they constitute the local community of Arnissa, which belongs to the municipal unit of Vegoritida of the Municipality of Edessa and according to the 2011 census has a population of only 1 inhabitant[6].
