KALAMARIA (Municipality) THESSALONIKI
The Council of Kalamaria constitutes the second largest council of
the Municipality of Thessaloniki, and also Northern Greece, and ninth in all of
Greece. According to the inventory of 2002, the population of the council amounts
to 87.312 people, against the 80.698 residents. The increase of residents in the
region amounts to 8,2%. Women constitute 52% (45.535) of the total population,

However, the increasing population does not compare with the percentage
of births in the Municipality, but is due to relocation of families from other
parts of Thessaloniki. The age-related structure of population does not differ
from that of remainder Greece. In Kalamaria according to the census made in 1991,
15,2% of the total population was individuals aged over 60 years.

THESSALONIKI (Town) MAKEDONIA CENTRAL
Bearing names that often recall the lost homelands (Nea Varna, Saranda
Ekklisies, Neo Kordelio, etc.), a series of new communities sprouted up on the
outskirts of the traditional city, to the west, after the swamps were drained
beyond Vardaris Square (1930) and the eastern sector expanded (Aretsou).
Most of them were shanty towns, thrown together in a hundred different
ways but mainly closely packed and jerry-built, in order to provide shelter for
some 100,000 refugees from Asia
Minor, Thrace and the Black Sea (Pontus). A typical example of a refugee settlement
was Kalamaria, a whole municipality nowadays, created by the vitality and industriousness
of people from the Black Sea.
