Administrative structure and population development

Under the name Èmbona , the statistical data recorded during the Italian period for the place 867 inhabitants in 1921, 1086 inhabitants in 1931 and 1082 inhabitants in 1936.

After the annexation of the Dodecanese to Greece in 1947, Embonas formed together with Mandriko and the hamlet of Nani from 1948 to the rural community of Embonas ( Κοινότητα Έμπωνα Kinótita Émbona ). Between 1952 and 1966, Mandriko was initially added to the rural community of Kritinia and briefly formed an independent rural community in 1967. The hamlet of Nani was dissolved in 1991. With the territorial reform in 1997 , the merger with four other rural communities took place to form what was then Atavyros, with Embonas as the administrative seat. With the implementation of the administrative reform in 2010, this in turn became a municipality in the municipality of Rhodes , where Embonas has been a municipality since then.
