history

In a slope called Kastri near the contemporary Gonnoi lie the remains of the ancient city of Gonnos or Gonni.

In 1912 the place was recognized as a rural municipality Dereli (gr. Κοινότητα Δερελίου) and renamed Gonni in 1927.

In 1997, after the incorporation of two neighboring towns, Gonni was raised to the status of a municipality (dimos) . In 2010 this municipality was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Ambelakia, Kato Olymbos, Makrychori and Nessonas to form the new municipality of Tembi, in which Gonni has since formed a municipality that is subdivided as follows:

Gonni district - Δ. Κ. Γόννων - 1,983 inhabitants
