The village is mentioned in 1919, in Official Gazette 167A-30/07/1919 under the name Doirani Railway Station to be annexed to the then community of Sourlovou (Amaranton) which belonged to the prefecture of Thessaloniki.

The day after the battle of Kilkis, Greek troops attacked the Bulgarians and captured the railway station and the then-town, which was a substantial supply base for them.

[8] Today, on a hill a few hundred meters south of the lake, there is a monument to the battle and two cemeteries for the Greek and British soldiers.

[citation needed] It is housed in a newly built building with traditional architecture on the outside, but on the inside, it has modern exhibitions with screens, photos of birds and plants, maps related to the existing wetlands in Greece, as well as thematic sections on the flora, fauna and the life of fishermen in the wider area.

[11][12] The entire Doirani lake is a very important wetland that has been designated a Natura habitat and is included in the Special Protection Zones, as it provides temporary shelter to 36 rare species of birds.

[13] On the borderline in the military outpost of Doirani is the church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, which is under the care of the Metropolis of Polyani and Kilkisi.
