That perhaps explains the origin of its name. The architect Ippodamos designed the urban planning of Piraeus in the mid 5th century BC.

Ippodamos plans were used as the guidelines for the reconstruction of the city in 1834. Themistocles was the first person to realize the importance of the role they could play for Athens.

He made Piraeus Athens a leading port relegating the bay of Faliron which the Athenians used before the 5th century BC.
