During the 2011 local government reform, it became a municipal unit of Chalcis. The population was 7,309 inhabitants at the 2011 census, and the land area is 137.266 km². The seat of the municipality was in Drosia. Although part of the Euboea regional unit, it is not located on the island Euboea, but on the mainland, attached to the northeastern part of Boeotia.

Anthedon (Ἀνθηδών) was a town in Boeotia, Ancient Greece, located on the coast of the Gulf of Euboea, about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of Chalcis, at the foot of Mount Messapius. It was member of the Amphictyonic League, and served as port for Thebes. In ancient times, it was believed to have had one of the mythical characters named Anthedon as its eponym.
Myrtis of Anthedon was an ancient Greek poet, purported to be the teacher of Pindar of Thebes and Corinna of Tanagra. Scholars believe that she was the earliest in the line of lyric poets who emerged from the district of Boeotia.
Peteon was a town of ancient Boeotia, mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad. It was situated near the road from Thebes to Anthedon. Strabo contradicts himself in one passage placing Peteon in the Thebais, and in another in the Haliartia.
Isus or Isos was a town in ancient Boeotia, near Anthedon, that in the time of Strabo had vestiges of a more ancient city, which some commentators identified with the Nisa referred to by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.
Salganeus or Salganea was a town upon the eastern coast of ancient Boeotia, and between Chalcis and Anthedon. The name Salganeus is derived from a Boeotian, who served as pilot to the Persian fleet of Xerxes I, and was put to death upon suspicion of treachery, because no outlet appeared to the channel of the Euripus; but the Persian commander, having found out his mistake, erected a monument on the spot, where the town was afterwards built. Salganeus was considered an important place from its commanding the northern entrance to the Euripus.
Lake Paralimni, formerly named Lake Ougria, Latinized to Uggria, is the easternmost of an east-west sequence of three ancient lakes in Central Greece that divided the mountains of Phocis from the plains of southern Boeotia on the east and the northern plains of Boeotia from the southern on the west. The westernmost and largest of the lakes, Lake Copais, was drained in the 19th century to make way for a large tract of fertile agricultural land, divided into plots. The ancient Bronze-age community on its northwestern shore, Orchomenos, is now a modern city at the edge of the farmland. The Cephissos River descending from Phocis to enter Copais has been rerouted through it to enter Lake Yliki from the north. Lake Yliki and Lake Paralimni are part of the water supply of the city of Athens, which houses one-third of the population of Greece.
