Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality [[Orestiada]], of which it is a municipal unit.<ref name=Kallikratis>[{{Cite web\|url=http://www.~~kedke~~et.gr/~~uploads2010~~idocs-nph/~~FEKB129211082010_kallikratis~~search/pdfViewerForm.~~pdf~~html?args=5C7QrtC22wGYK2xFpSwMnXdtvSoClrL81-32jgAMSfbnMRVjyfnPUeJInJ48_97uHrMts-zFzeyCiBSQOpYnT00MHhcXFRTsb2fGphpq4MKX2ZkaHobySNnvZCNHXvYVvlf80XevW0Q.\|title=ΦΕΚ ~~Kallikratis~~B ~~law]~~1292/2010, ~~Greece~~Kallikratis ~~Ministry~~reform ofmunicipalities\|language=el\|publisher=[[Government ~~Interior~~Gazette ~~{{el~~(Greece)\|Government ~~icon~~Gazette]]}}</ref> The municipal unit has an area of 135.976 km<sup>2</sup>.<ref name=stat01>{{cite web\|url=http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf \|publisher=National Statistical Service of Greece \|title=Population & housing census 2001 (incl. area and average elevation) \|language=el \|url-status=dead \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921212047/http://dlib.statistics.gr/Book/GRESYE_02_0101_00098%20.pdf \|archivedate=2015-09-21 }}</ref> In ~~2011~~2021 its population was ~~806~~571 for the ~~village~~community and 21,~~226~~732 for the municipal unit. Kyprinos is located southwest of [[Edirne]], [[Turkey]], west-northwest of [[Orestiada]], north of [[Alexandroupoli]] and about 5 to 6 km east of [[Kurdzhali]] and the [[Bulgaria]]n frontier, where there is a border crossing. [[Athens]] is approximately 1,050 km to the southwest. [[Komara]] is on the other side of the river [[Arda (Maritsa)\|Ardas]]. ==Name origin== Line 33 ⟶ 31: ==Subdivisions== The municipal unit Kyprinos is subdivided into the following communities (constituent villages in brackets):<ref name=Kallikratis/> Kyprinos (Kyprinos, Galini) [[Fylakio]] (Fylakio, Keramos, [[Ammovouno]]) Line 49 ⟶ 47: \|- \| 2011 \|\| 806 \|\| 2,226 \|- \| 2021 \|\| 571 \|\| 1,732 \|} Line 59: The villages of and around Kyprinos are assumed to have been there for many centuries and what can certainly be said is that in the documents of the late 18th century found in different archives, both Greek and Turkish, Kyprinos itself and most of the nearby villages are already mentioned. Even though it is not clear when the first ones were founded since historical sources are rare and barely explicit. However, there is evidence that in the Ancient world there already were settlements in that area. Excavations near the village of Mikri Doxipara - Zoni have brought interesting pieces of ancient Thracian culture ([[Thrace]]) into the light. The [[Tomb\|Tombs]] found in that place (8 km from Kyprinos, between Zoni and Mikri Doxipara) are estimated to be from the 1st or 2nd century AD. [[Sheikh Bedreddin]] (1359–1420), also known as Sheikh Bedreddin, was born in Kyprinos, son of a local g(h)azi (warrior), whose name was Israel. He was a famous Sufi teacher and a rebel against the Ottoman central rule.
