Neochorouda (Greek: Νεοχωρούδα) is a village in the Oraiokastro municipality, Thessaloniki regional unit, northern Greece.

[citation needed] The village itself was built on the crossroads of the road between Kilkis and Athens and thus saw a lot of traffic, hence the name.

[citation needed] During the Macedonian struggle the area was a hotbed for partisan activity as Greek, Bulgarian and other nationality paramilitaries as well as Ottoman soldiers waged a covert war for the allegiance of the native populations either “converting” people to their national identity, or exterminating them as the supporters of others.

Due to this reason Macedonia had, up until a generation ago at most, a large concentration of Bulgarian-speaking villages, whose inhabitants nevertheless subscribed strongly to their Greek identity.

[citation needed] Both Tria Hania and Neochorouda are mentioned in Penelope Delta’s book “The Secrets of the Swamp” (1937).
