In the early 1900s, 276 Slavonic speaking Christians lived in the village.[4]Aromanians settled in the village in 1949.[4] They were a group of nomadic transhumant Aromanians (known as the Arvanitovlachs) originating from Thessaly and the Greek government assisted their settlement into depopulated villages of the Prespa region like Vrontero.[5][6] Aromanians are the only inhabitants of the village.[5]
Vrontero had 172 inhabitants in 1981.[7] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Vrontero was populated by Aromanians.[7] The Aromanian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships.[7] Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek.[7]
