'''Naoussa''' ( [[Greek language|Greek]]: Νάουσα - ''Naousa'', is a city in northern [[Greece]]. Population 22,288. The urban area sits off the road linking [[Veria]] and Skydra. The farmlands lie to the west, the forested and grovy area in the western part and the [[Vermio]] Mountains to the west. Peaches, and other fruits and crops are very famous in the low lying areas of the province. Naoussa is agriculturally famous for its jam products which are sold under the ''[[Naoussa (jam)|Naoussa]]'' brand name. The flavors are peach and strawberry.

==History==

Naoussa is first mentioned in the [[15th Century]]. Under Ottoman rule, the city had special privileges and paid reduced taxes. Owing to this, Naoussa soon became known as a wealthy city and attracted the attention of [[Ali Pasha]] of Albania who siezed it in [[1804]], only to relinquish it after the Sultan told him to do so.

In [[1822]], [[Anastasios Karatasos]] and others proclaimed the Greek [[War of Independence]] in Naoussa. The Turks responded by sending a force of 12,000 men who besieged the city and breached its defences. An estimated 2,000 people were killed in the aftermath.

Naoussa was finally liberated in November [[1912]] in the [[First Balkan War]].
