Vagalat

Vagalat (Albanian definite form: Vagalati, Greek: Βαγγαλάτι) is a village in the former commune of Livadhe, Vlorë County, southern Albania.

[2][3] A fortress was erected on the site of Vagalat during the Hellenistic times as part of the fortification network of Chaonia,[4] the later being inhabited by ancient Greek populations.

A significant portion of the anthroponyms recorded in the register belonged to the Albanian onomastic sphere, including personal names such as Bos, Dedë, Dodë, Gjergj, Gjin, Gjokë, Gjon, Lalë, Lekë, Muzhak, and others.

[6] A 1993 study by Leonidas Kallivretakis estimated that the total population of the village was 1058, all of them part of the Greek community in Albania.

[7] Vagalat is among the villages in which members of the ethnic Greek minority reside and are recognized as such by the Albanian authorities.
