Kalogeriko (Καλογερικό) Arta

Kalogeriko is a village in the Municipality of Arta with 489 permanent residents (2011 census), a few kilometers from the Amvrakikos gulf and about 12 kilometers from the city of Arta. [1]

According to the Kapodistrias Plan, Kalogeriko existed until the end of 2010, a municipal district of the newly formed Municipality of Amvrakikos, based in Aneza. Based on the new administrative division provided by the Kallikratis Plan, Kalogeriko joined the Municipality of Arta. [2]

Administrative changes

In 1919, with the Government Gazette 181A - 14/08/1919, the community of Kalogeriko was formed and joined the province of Nikopoleos and Parga of the prefecture of Preveza. On July 2, 1974, the community was transferred to the Artis District of the Arta prefecture. In 1997, with the Government Gazette 244A-4/12/1997, the community is abolished and merged with the Municipality of Amvrakikos. The new administrative division provided for in the Kallikratis Plan, which was published in the Official Gazette 87 / t.A '/ 2010, resulted in Kalogeriko joining the Municipality of Arta. [3]

Based on the work of Konstantinos Diamantis entitled "Arta and its surroundings during the Revolution", Kalogeriko was a small settlement with 20 families during the period when the Greek Revolution of 1821 broke out. [4] [5]

Panagiotis Aravantinos in his work "Chronography of Epirus" informs us that, based on the catalog of the 1845 census, Kalogeriko was a privately owned village, belonged to the Ioannina department and was inhabited by 11 Christian families while the exhibition of the Russian Arta Consulate in 1877 informs us that the village was owned by the Monastery of Koronisia and was inhabited by 16 families. [6] [7] Ifikratis Kokkidis also refers to the village in his work "Journeys of Epirus and Thessaly" published by the Greek Ministry of the Army (Athens 1880) and gives us the information that the village was inhabited by about 100 people. I. Kokkidis informs us that the province of Arta was divided into 2 areas: the area of ​​Arta and the area of ​​Preveza. The area of ​​Arta was in turn divided into 7 sections: Potamia section, Vryseos section, Radovyzi section, Tzoumerka section, Kambou section, Karvasara section and Lakkas section. Kalogeriko was part of the Kampos section. [8]

Another important piece of information that we have comes from the "Essay Historian on Arta & Preveza" (published in 1884), by Seraphim Xenopoulos, Metropolitan of Arta. According to this source, Kalogeriko, Aneza, Gavria, Apomero, Mytikas and Genitsari had a total of about 180 families. The inhabitants of the village were attending the church of Agios Nikolaos Anezas. In front of the church, there was a mutual school, where a teacher taught and about 180 students from Kalogeriko, Aneza, Gavria and neighboring villages attended. [9]

An equally remarkable source is the Ottoman census of 1895. [10] According to the relevant Ottoman law, the primary division of the empire was the vilayet. Each vilayet was divided into santzaki and those into kazades. According to this census, the village belonged to Kazas Lourou, who was in the sandzaki of Preveza, which in turn belonged to the vilayet of Ioannina. Based on these data, 26 families (khanedes) with a total population of 93 people (48 men, 45 women) lived in Kalogeriko.

In 1910, the Diocese of Nikopolis and Preveza published the census data that took place in the same year throughout the ecclesiastical district and informs us that Kalogeriko belonged to the Louros department and 165 people lived in the village. [11]
