History
Drosia was first known and founded only during the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, formerly mainly composed of farmlands. Its first inhabitants were from Pont and Asia Minor , and many of them could not head to Athens and Piraeus.

Year 1926 ( MCMXXVI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.
