The exact date of the village's establishment is unknown, but it is known that it was inhabited at the time of the Thracians. This is backed by a large amount of archeological items in the local areas Popinsko Kale, Obrochishte, Sveti Nikola, Sveta Petka, Gospodova Cherkva, Borova Mogila, Poleto, and Tsonina Chukara. Above 25 burial mounds, a votive plate to the Thracian leader Heros, ceramic items, were found, which shows proof of a functioning settlement and a forgotten and misunderstood history. It is thought that the settlement fell under Ottoman rule in 1393, at which time the Bulgarian kingdom (under Ivan Shishman) was falling into Ottoman hands.
