KLODOROBI
The name of the village Klodorobi was forcibly changed by the Greek
government to Kladorahi. It is a part of the Lerin region about 6 kilometres
north of the town. It is on the Lerin plain on the southwest part of
the Pelagonija plain at 21 degrees 24 minutes longitude and 40 degrees
50 minutes latitude. The village is 642 metres above sea level and about
10 square kilometres in area.
Klodorobi borders to the north the villages Gorno and Dolno Kleshtino
and to the south with the village Kabasnitsa.
Before the start of the Greek Civil War, about 530 Macedonian residents
lived in the village. They were employed in agriculture, raising livestock,
and other necessary trades.
During the Greek Civil War, the residents actively took part in the
organization of NOF and the armed forces of DAG led by KPG with more
than 30 active fighters. 7 gave their lives.
They were:
1. Boglev Kole
2. Dimov Koron
3. Kiprov Jani
4. Mazarova Nevena
5. Mazarova Stojna
6. Mirchevski Pandil
7. Przhev Tanas
Of the fallen fighters who gave their young lives there were 5 men
and 2 women.
After the Greek Civil War and the forced emigration from the village
Klodorobi, the number of residents fell significantly. In the census
in Greece in 1991 it was recorded that there were 85 residents in the
village.
