Vrontados according to old inscriptions and documents by the time of the Greek War of Independence of 1821 it has the name "Erithai", from the ancient form "erithos", which means worker, farmer because the first inhabitants were occupied with the cultivation of land. Today there is the area of "Erithiani" with the parish church of Panagia Erithiani.
Later the area named "Vrontados", which comes from one family name known as "Vrontas" or according to what other people say, from the crash, which made by woodcutters the old-time, by the felling timber of woods in the area. In the beginning "Vrontados" was named just a small quarter, which still exists, and later all the area had this name.
About the establishment of the village, we do not have many historical facts. But, all who, by time, were involved with the history of the island, admit that Vrontados belongs to the newer buildings of the Isle and established the years before the fall of Constantinople, when the pirate attacks by the Middle ages overrun the Aegean islands.
Again, according to the tradition, the first residents of the area were families from Koila- an area in the south of Vrontados in a distance of about 15 Km-these families took shelter and established here, after a snap, bloody raid by Turk pirates. After they took with them the venerable icon of their protector Saint George, they fount the quarter "Gemellidos" and they built a big church to honor their protector, the great martyr Saint George.
That is how it become the first nucleus of the village, whom residents slowly became more, with the removal and the settlement of more farmers and shepherds, who used to live in small quarters on
Epos and Flori, but they were destroyed by the pirates. The little village with few rare quarters took confined space, but after 1821, because shipping expanded and the population increased with the emigration of people from other villages of Chios, it became bigger and took his latest form.
The area is rarely habitable with the quarters gathered around the churches.
