The city was incorporated in 293 BC. in Dimitriada. Here was one of the most famous shrines and oracles of the Magnetites, that of Apollo Koropaios. The sanctuary flourished from Archaic times to the Roman era; remains of an Archaic temple were excavated under Petralona Hill, on the left bank of the Bufa River. The finds are kept in the Museum of Volos. At the top of the hill there are building remains from the settlement of ancient Koropi, dating from Archaic to Roman times.
