Argyroupoli is a suburb in the southern part of Athens, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the Elliniko-Argyroupoli municipality, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.
The city’s name derives from the greek words and (poli meaning city) The name’s older form was Argyroupolis. The first name of the settlement was New Argyroupolis, given by the refugees from Gümüşhane.
Following the exchange of populations, a number of refugges reached Attica from the former Ottoman Empire. In 1926, refugees from Argyroupolis in northeastern Turkey (modern Gümüşhane meaning “silver house”) arrived in site, then named Ktima Geroulanou (Greek: Κτήμα Γερουλανου). They named the new settlement Nea Argyroupolis as a remembrance to their old hometown. There was persumambly much resemblance between the two towns as, Argyroupoli is built on a plain with the Hymettus mountain to its north, as Gümüşhane is built on a plain with the Pontic Alps to the north. One of the first tasks of the settlers was to built the church of Αγία Βαρβάρα (St. Barbara), named after the patron saint of the now Turkish city.
