The local village name Seltsa was the basis of the toponym Anaselitsa for the Ottoman province and used until the late 1920s. The 1920 Greek census recorded 1,935 people in the village. Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Selitsa were from East Thrace (3) in 1926. The 1928 Greek census recorded 2,359 village inhabitants. In 1928, the refugee families numbered 3 (7 people).
