Its settlers arrived there in 1923 and in November 1924 the construction of the village started. However, the local [[Macedonian Greeks]] from the nearby village of ''Kioupkioi'', which was later renamed [[Proti, Serres|Proti]], claimed that this land should be given to them for [[grazing]] and cultivation and had told the Pontic Greeks to leave. On November 5, more than one hundred armed locals attacked the Pontic Greek tents, burned a stable where wood was stored and caused other damages. One of the locals even assaulted the Pontic priest by cutting his beard, which holds great importance in [[Eastern Orthodoxy|orthodox]] [[priesthood]]. Twelve people were injured and were transferred to [[Drama, Greece|Drama]] for hospitalization, while multiple arrests were also made. The [[Military of Greece|military]] was sent to the location and the case remained open until December of the same year, with the construction of the village being allowed. Nea Mpafra was officially established in 1926.
