Foufas, known before 1927 as Paleor (Παλαιοχώρι), (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Φούφας, Bulgarian: Палеор, Paleor) is a village and a community of the Eordaia municipality.[1] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Mouriki, of which it was a municipal district.[1] The 2021 census recorded 444 inhabitants in the village.
In 1845 the Russian slavist Victor Grigorovich recorded Paliora as mainly Bulgarian village.[2] Stefan Verkovich, folklorist from Bosnia, noted in 1889 that there were 50 Bulgarian and 30 Turkish houses in Paleor.[3] On May 11, 1907 during an armed clash with the local villagers the captain from Hellenic Army Foufas (Zaharias Papadas), commander of a Greek paramilitary squad, was killed. In 1932 the village was renamed Foufas (Fufas) after the nickname of Captain Papadas.
