History
Before the Greco-Turkish population exchange the village, called Bairakli, was inhabited exclusively by Turks.[4] After the population exchange the village was resettled by Greek refugees.[4] The original settlement was evacuated in 1980, as the Public Power Corporation of Greece expanded its lignite mines towards the village.[4] The contemporary settlement of Exochi is adjacent to the community of Koila.[4]
