Agios Vartholomaios ( Greek: Άγιος Βαρθολομαίος, before 1926: Βαρθολώμ - Vartholom [2] renamed until 1928: Βαρθολομαίος - Vartholomaios [3]) is a village in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece.
According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 360 Muslim Albanians lived in the village in 1900. [4] The Greek census (1920) recorded 487 people in the village and in 1923 there were 447 inhabitants (or 80 families) who were Muslim. [5] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Vartholom there were refugee families from Asia Minor (3), Pontus (41) and the Caucasus (51). [5] The Greek census (1928) recorded 219 village inhabitants. [5] There were 94 refugee families (353 people) in 1928. [5] The village mosque with a tall minaret was destroyed. [6]
Agios Vartholomaios had 200 inhabitants in 1981. [7] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Agios Vartholomaios was populated by a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the population exchange. [7] Pontic Greek was spoken by people over 60, mainly in private. [7]
