Of the Urban Schools mentioned above, the oldest is the Urban School of Kolindros as it started its operation in 1850, while the Urban School of Litochoro started its educational activity at the end of the 19th century. The aim of the present study is to present the Urban School of Litochoro through the primary surviving records concerning its foundation, the teaching staff, the school tax office, the student population and the socio-economic stratification of the students attending it.
