Historical data

The place has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the findings in the wider area, such as the skull of the Archanthropus of Petralona. However, no archeological excavations have been carried out in the area of ​​Nea Triglia, as a result of which we do not know which city was in its place. It is probable that there was an ancient city in the place of Nea Triglia, with the name Spartolos in the current area of ​​Platania. In Byzantine times it was called Zyli or Zgyli. According to the French Lefort, at the site of the present settlement was Rousseau (996-1354 or 1356 AD) which was an imperial land and in 1117 was a monastery property. [3]

The old name (from the years of Turkish rule) of Nea Triglia was Souflar and so today it is called by the locals. The area to which Souflar belongs is called Kalamaria and extends from Thessaloniki to Potidea. The name Kalamaria is interpreted as [4] derived from Kali Maria. That's what they called Maria, sister ruler of Macedonia, and Kalamaria belonged to her.

The settlement of refugees in the village of Souflar in recent years took place after 1922, by residents from Asia Minor and Eastern Thrace. Apart from Nea Triglia, some other refugees settled in Rafina, Attica, so the two cities have excellent relations. Before the arrival of the refugees, Souflar had come under the control of a Turkish Aga and then the Jew Saul Modian, to be bought by the Holy Monastery of Vatopedi. In 1926, Souflar became an autonomous community, along with Mikralona (Bozala) and was renamed Nea Triglia. Old Triglia is located in Asia Minor (northeast) and dates back to prehistoric times, according to Tryphon Evangelidis. It was Triglia that came from Vrylio, an ancient city, according to the same source.

During World War II, Bulgarians and Mongols settled in Nea Triglia. In fact, two residents of the settlement were executed by Mongols, while the village was set on fire by the Germans.

Culture

The Association of Everywhere Trigliani was founded in 1961 with headquarters in Thessaloniki and in 1975 it established branches in Nea Triglia and Rafina. Besides, in 1994 a Youth Association was founded and in 2002 the "Digenis" Association, by Pontians returning. In 1992 a Folklore Museum was established. Three years later, all the museum's objects were transferred to the Cultural Center of the Association of All-Triangle, in 1997 a small association of Kisderveniotes of Asia Minor, Mikralona, ​​was founded, honoring the memory of the people of Asia Minor on September 14 at the Church of the Ascension.
