Upper Macedonia (
Greek: Ἄνω Μακεδονία,
Ánō Makedonía) is a geographical and tribal term to describe the upper/western of the two parts in which, together with
Lower Macedonia, the ancient kingdom of
Macedon was roughly divided. Upper Macedonia became part of the kingdom of Macedon in the early 4th century BC. From that date, its inhabitants were politically equal to Lower Macedonians. Upper Macedonia was divided in the regions of
Elimeia,
Eordaea,
Orestis,
Lynkestis,
Pelagonia,
Deuriopus,
Atintania and
Dassaretis. The southern part of Upper Macedonia corresponds roughly to the modern Greek region of
West Macedonia while the northern part of Upper Macedonia corresponds to the southwestern corner of the
Republic of Macedonia.
