The island was first inhabited by Karians and its ancient name was Parthenia. It enjoyed great power and prosperity under the tyrant Polykrates (54o BC).
During the Persian Wars it was conquered by the Persians, and later became a member of the First Athenian Confederacy, from which it seceded in 440 BC. Pericles sent a strong force and captured the island after a long siege.
In 129 BC, it became part of the Roman province and during Byzantine times it was part of the province of the Cyclades. It was captured by the Franks (1204) and, after the Fall of Constantinople to the Turks (1453), it was abandoned, its Greek inhabitants seeking refuge in nearby Chios. The islanders of Samos took an active part in the Greek War of Independence of 1821. The island was united with free Greece on 11 November 1912.

At the head of the bay of Samos lies the harbor of VATHY and the genteel capital of the island also called SAMOS, spreading out next to it with its fine neoclassical buildings.
