History -
According to legend,
Orpheus lived in these lands at one time. There also is
a saga that these lands inspired
Spartacus the Thracian and gave him a titan power.
Later, the region was massively inhabited by the
Slavs. According to the
Bulgarian professors, the tribe
Dragovichi lived there. They accepted many
Thracian customs, but gave them typical Slavic
characters. Soon after the
Bulgar invasion on the Balkans, the whole region was
annexed to the
First Bulgarian Empire by tsar
Malamir. At the times of the Turkish terror, the
Turks converted many of the Slavs in this region to
Islam, by killing those who did not want to accept their
religion. However, in the Communist regime in Bulgaria many
of the Bulgarian Muslims returned to Orthodox Christianity,
their old religion.
