History
The Greek newspaper Pigi Kefalovrysou mentioned in an article that in 1840 this village was founded by a lone tselingas (Greek for goatherd) named Nastas (Greek: ο τσέλιγκας Νάστας). Kefalovryso passed from the Ottoman Empire to Greece in 1913, during the Balkan Wars.
In the 10th of July a massacre happened in the village. 22 men were put in two houses, with most of them being soldiers from the Greco-German war. Only one of them survived and the rest were burnt alive.
