History

Peta was ruled by the Ottomans with some interruption, the town was affected by the Greek War of Independence and lost their victory to become a part of Greece. The Turks recaptured the village and continued ruling the region until 1881 with a brief Greek occupation in the 1850s but it was reconquered.

Peta finally joined Greece during the liberation of the modern southeastern Arta which included most of Thessaly that ended the Ottoman Turkish rule in 1881. The tract of land northwest of Peta remained in Ottoman hands until the Balkan Wars of 1913. Its economy slowly improved.
