Argyroupoli (Tr: Gümüşhane) is a town and province situated 70km south of Trabzon and 1300m above sea level. It was the capital of the Diocese of Chaldia and also the seat of a mutasarrif (administration) within the vilayet of Trebizond. The region comprised approximately 200 settlements. It was named Argyroupoli in 1846 from the Turkish "Gumus-hane" which means 'silver place'.
It's believed the town was settled in the latter part of the 15th century by people who arrived there to work in the local mines. The town began to flourish by the middle of the 16th century due to the mines but by the beginning of the 19th century the mining industry began to decline which led to an exodus of its population. The mines permanently ceased to operate in 1894.
In 1914, the population of the region was approximately 3,000 of which 1,600 were Greeks. It was divided into 7 parishes, which apart from Livathi, were all named after their churches; St. Theodoros, St. Ioannis, tis Panayias (Virgin Mary), St. George and Timios Stavros (Holy Cross). The list below divides the region into 2 sections: Argyroupolis and Manastir. Read more about Argyroupolis here
