History

The settlement was recorded as a village with the name Bazarlıfakih, in the Ottoman tahrir defter (number 101) of 1521.[4] The village was known as Pazarládes (Παζαρλάδες) until 1957, when it was renamed to Lófos.[5] Until the exchange of populations in 1924 and the arrival of the refugees from Pontus, mainly from Erbaa and Niksar, the village was inhabited by local Muslims.[6]
