The origin of the name of Pefkochori was Kapsohora which in Greek means Burnt Earth because it was set on fire several times in the period when pirates were tyrannizing over the Aegean Sea. Its birth dates back to 1500 and was one of the 12 named settlements of Sithonia during the Turkish occupation. In the north-east area, the remains of a Roman villa and coins with the image of Lysimachus, a Macedonian general of the court of Alexander the Great who later became King of Thrace (northern Turkey) in 361-281 BC, were found.
