History

[edit]

Soon after the 1912 release and the incorporation in the national trunk of the Greek territories of Macedonia, the Municipality of Thessaloniki was reorganized by the “official journal of the Hellenic Republic 98/5-5-1918) on 3 May 1918. The particular conditions that prevailed, the local peculiarities and the dynamics of developments determined so much the development of the Municipality of Thessaloniki that the communities slowly began to integrate. Between these also Menemeni, that was created by families of refugees from Menemen, Smyrna (modern Izmir) afterwards the Asia Minor destruction in 1922.

In 1926 Menemeni was extracted from the municipality of Thessaloniki along with the settlements of Charmankioi, Lebet (Stavroupoli), Efkarpia and Kara-Isin (Polichni) and they constituted the Community of Charmankioi, in which were added the settlements of Neos Koukloutzas aka Evosmos, Ampelokipoi, Nea Menemeni and Neo Kordelio. This community included itself once again in the Municipality of Thessalonika in 1929. Until 1934 the Municipality of Thessaloniki included almost entire the built-up urban group of city.

With the “official journal of the Hellenic Republic 23/34” in 1934, important realignments in the administrative limits of Municipality of Thessaloniki came into effect and new communities were created. Thus, the settlements of Menemeni, New Charmankioi, New Bosporus, New Menemeni constituted the Community of Menemeni. The communities of Eleftherio, Menemeni, Pylaia and Triandria were recognized as municipalities afterwards 1981, when population increased bigger than the limit of ten thousands of residents.
