history

The area of ​​Domokos, like the Phthiotis landscape, was counted as part of Thessaly in antiquity and came under the Treaty of Berlin in 1881 from the Ottoman Empire to Greece. Two years later, the villages of today's municipality were initially grouped into three municipalities, which were named after the ancient toponyms of the area, the cities of Melitaia (Μελιταία), Thaumakoi (Θαυμακοί) and after Lake Xynias (Ξυνίας, near a town called Xynia). In 1891 the province of Domokos was formed from these three communities, which existed until 1997, but was assigned to different prefectures over time. In 1912, these three communities were divided into numerous small rural communities, and individual villages were then given the ancient city names. In 1974 the rural community of Makryrrachi was separated from the Karditsa Province and incorporated into the Domokos Province. In 1997, the rural communities were combined into three new urban communities, which were named Domokos, Xyniada and Thessaliotida (the latter after the ancient landscape of Thessaliotis Θεσσαλιῶτις , which, however, is located in western Thessaly). These municipalities were merged with the administrative reform in 2010 to form today's municipality of Domokos. The municipal area is congruent with the province of Domokos, which existed until 1997 .

As in all of Greece, some villages in Domokos were renamed in the course of the 20th century:
