history
The area of the municipality was still completely rural in the 19th century, the Arvanite village of Kamatero at the foot of the Egaleo with (1853) 123 inhabitants in 29 houses was the only settlement. Between 1848 and 1861, the Greek Queen Amalia built her summer residence west of the Kifisos with an extensive park, the area of which is still partially preserved in the modern Andonis Tritsis Park (in the area of Ilio). The traditional name Pyrgos Vasilissis ('Tower of the Queen') for the manor house on the site still bears the station in Anakasa.
A settlement of Bavarian civil servants and court employees, initially called Ilion Troas , was built in 1858 southwest of the royal estate. After the expulsion of the royal family and its civil servants in 1862, wealthy families from the surrounding villages of Liosia, Fyli and Menidi settled there and named the settlement Kato Liosia, at the end of the 19th century Nea Liosia prevailed. By 1920 the population of Nea Liosia grew to 1121 inhabitants. Nea Liosia was spun off from Athens in 1925 and became an independent rural community, Agii Anargyri as the eastern strip of Nea Liosia became independent two years later. In 1928 Agii Anargyri already had 1,057 inhabitants, 117 of them refugees from Turkey.
In the 19th century, Kamatero alternately belonged to the communities of the surrounding villages. In 1915 it became a district of Athens and in 1933 it was spun off as an independent rural community. Its population rose only slowly, from 378 in 1920 to 560 in 1940.
The decisive increase in population and the development into urban urban space took place in the period after the Second World War . Agii Anargyri was raised to a municipality in 1963, Kamatero in 1972. As part of the implementation of the Kallikratis program , the two communities were united on January 1, 2011 and Agii Anargyri was designated as the seat of the new community.
