Neraida (Νεράιδα) Karditsa

Neraida is a mountainous settlement in the prefecture of Karditsa. It is built at an altitude of 700 meters on the slopes of Agrafa, and is one of the mountainous settlements of Thessaly. It was formerly known as Spinassa, of Slavic origin, which was changed in March 1928 by royal decree.

Chronology

Neraidain an Ottoman census of the Sandzak of Trikala is referred to as Ispinasa, with a population of 23 households. In 1525, with the Treaty of Tamasio, privileges were granted to Agrafa and so the whole area flourished until 1770 and the Orlofika, so the village was looted by the Turks in retaliation for the action of thieves and chariots in Agrafa.

A large landslide occurred in the area of ​​the village and a small lake-swamp was created which was maintained until 1920. The settlement was deserted by the passage of a plague. In 1750, sections of the mainland military forces settled in the village, which was rebuilt, while other traditions indicate the arrival in the village of three brothers from Epirus, who settled and distributed the land among themselves.

The village actively participated in the Revolution of 1821, while earlier, in 1808, the area had been the scene of a clash between Katsantonis and the Turks. Those residents who settled permanently in the village bought the area of ​​the village in 1826 with Turkish contracts. In 1883 a primary school was founded in the village.

After the war, the population of Neraida began to decline and many of the area's residents in the 1960s became miners or sailors to survive.

Northeast and 3 km from the village is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, which was founded in the 16th century.
