Ano Poroia was founded in the late 18th century (c. 1800) by Aromanians (mainly) from the Pindus mountains after expulsions led by Ali Pasha from Ioannina. During the 19th century the village was one of the largest and most developed in Demirhisar Kaza des Serres Sandjak. The main occupations were agriculture (tobacco, flax, cotton, barley, rye), silkworm farming and trade. The population was made up of Greeks, Aromanians, Bulgarians and Turks.

In the "Ethnographie des vilayets d'Adrianople, de Monastir et de Salonique" (published in 1878 in Constantinople and in relation to the population) it was written that Gorni Poroi was a village and had 320 households with 1,000 Bulgarians and 60 Aromanians.

At first, both Bulgarians and Aromanians adhered to the same liturgy and belonged to a unified church ministering in Greek.
