Kipoureio or Kipourio (Greek: Κηπουρείο or Κηπουριό) is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Gorgiani, of which it was a municipal district and the seat.[2] The 2021 census recorded 125 residents in the village.[1] The community of Kipoureio covers an area of 40.285 km2.[3]
In the early nineteenth century, traveller William Martin Leake wrote Kipoureio was a Vlach village.[4] According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 600 Greek Christians lived in the village in 1900.[5] Historian Nicholas Hammond described Kipoureio as a Vlach village during his travels in the area during the interwar period.[6] Historian Asterios Koukoudis states Kipoureio possibly experienced a process of assimilation, similar to the village of Mikrolivado.[4]
