Triantafyllia (Greek: Τριανταφυλλιά; Bulgarian and Macedonian: Лаген or Лагино) is a village in the municipality of Florina, West Macedonia, Greece. The village is set amongst the mountains of Northern Greece, on the slopes of Mount Vernon. The town has stone architecture.
Pre–war and post–war immigration from Triantafyllia led to the formation of a diaspora and most of the village population lives abroad in the northern suburbs of Melbourne in Australia.[2]
History
According to Ethnographie des vilayets d'Andrinople: de Monastir, et de Salonique, which was published in 1878, the village had 80 houses and a population of 200 males, all recorded as Bulgarians.[3] According to statistics collected by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village had a population of 520, all Bulgarians.[4] According to statistics collected by Dimitar Mishev (under the pseudonym "Brancoff") in 1905, the village had a population of 504, all Bulgarian Patriarchists, with one Patriarchist primary school, one teacher and 12 students.[5]
In 1927, the name of the village was changed from Λάγενη (Lágeni) to Τριανταφυλλιά (Triantafylliá).[6]
