==History==
The modern town is very close to the site of the ancient city of Kierion ((ギリシア語:Κιέριον)) or Cierium, one of the most important cities of ancient Thessaly. The name "Sofades" was first recorded as "Sofou" (Σοφού) around 1454 AD. In the early 1800s the English traveler William Martin Leake described the town as an administrative center consisting of around 150 houses and belonging to Abdim Bey of Larissa, but paying a yearly tribute to Ali Pasha. Chief crops of the region were corn and sesame, from which the oil was a major product.〔Leake, William Martin. ''Travels in Northern Greece''. (1835).〕
Much of the area is hilly and consists of farmland and woodland. Mountains lie to the south and east. A river flows to the north.
