Pappadatos (Παππαδάτος) Aitoloakarnania

Papadatou [1] or Pap (p) adatos [2] is a village in the Municipality of Xiromeros in Aitoloakarnania. According to the 2011 census, it has 443 inhabitants. It is located in the western part of the Prefecture of Aitoloakarnania and southwest of Lake Amvrakia. It is built on a rocky hill, a branch of the Akarnanian mountains on their southeast side, at an altitude of 320 meters.

Designation

The name of the village is not completely verified where it came from. The same is true for the dating. According to local oral tradition, [4] the village took its name from the first inhabitant who settled permanently in the current location of the village in about 1400, who was called Papadatos and came from Cephalonia.

Establishment

There is no exact information about the date of establishment of the village. However, it is fully established that it existed before 1761. Before that time there were the settlements of Anninou and Gardi near the village, while some other neighboring settlements, such as Agios Stefanos, Panagia, are older, perhaps from the time of the Despotate. Epirus. A dowry agreement of 1551 encourages the conclusion that the village was formed around 1400. Two foreign travelers who passed through the village, Puckeville and Lake, report, first, that pre-revolutionary (before 1821) Papadatou had only 20 families, and the second, that Papadatou in 1809 included a few houses.
