Kokkinia (Greek: Κοκκινιά, before 1927: Σούμπινο – Soumpino)[2] is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Irakleotes, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 136 residents in the community.[1] The community of Kokkinia covers an area of 16.28 km2.[4]
Soumpino was a mixed village and a part of its population were Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[5][6] The 1920 Greek census recorded 459 people in the village, and 200 inhabitants (50 families) were Muslim in 1923.[7]
Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Soumpino were from Asia Minor (10) and Pontus (43) in 1926.[7] The 1928 Greek census recorded 573 village inhabitants.[7] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 52 (185 people).[7] Nea Trapezounta, a neighbourhood of Kokkinia populated by Greek refugees was listed as a separate new village in the 1981 census.[8]
