Administrative changes

In 1835, the settlement called Moni has 146 inhabitants (45 families) and is annexed to the newly established Municipality of Tragaia in the province of Naxos, based in the settlement of Chalkio. [18] [19]
In 1912, it was decided that the settlements, which had more than 300 inhabitants and a primary school, would become independent communities. Thus, the settlement of Moni is detached from the municipality of Tragaia, which is abolished and the community of Moni is established with its seat in Moni. [20]
In 1997, with the implementation of the Kapodistrias program (law 2539/97), the community of Moni was abolished and the settlement of Moni was annexed to the newly established municipality of Drymalia, based in the settlement of Chalkeio. [21] Specifically, with the Kapodistrias program, it belonged to the Municipal Department of Moni, of the Municipality of Drymalia, of the prefecture of Cyclades, to the geographical department of the Aegean Islands. [17]
In 2010, with the implementation of the Kallikratis program (law 3852/2010), the municipality of Drymalia was abolished and Moni was annexed to the newly established municipality of Naxos & Small Cyclades. [22]

Today, after the last change of 2010 (Kallikratis program), it constitutes together with the settlement of Sifones (which, however, has not had permanent residents since 1981) the Local Community of Moni (216 k.). The so-called Moni belongs to the municipal unit of Drymalia, the municipality of Naxos and the Small Cyclades, the regional unit of Naxos (the former prefecture of Cyclades), in the region of South Aegean.
