Dobrich is one of the many ancient settlements found in Bulgaria and evidence has proved that
there were settlements in the city of Dobrich around the third to fourth century before the birth of
Christ, thats an astounding six thousand years ago.
Dobrich had settlements of different people from Thracian to Roman and the early Bulgars for
many thousands of years and there is still proof of this from ruins dating from the Roman period
around the third century AD and a necropolis from the time of the Bulgars in the seventh to
eighth century AD.

Dobrich was desolated and uninhabited from the eleventh to the fifteenth century due to an
invasion of central Asian Pecheneg people in the eleventh century. In the sixteenth century the
city was revived by the Hacioglu Pazarcik a Turkish merchant, from this date until the
eighteenth century Dobrich was actually called Hacioglu Pazarcik after its founder.
In the nineteenth century the city was prized away from the Ottoman Empire like the rest of
Bulgaria and was finally named Dobrich in 1878. Since 1878 Dobrich has still endured a lot of
interesting history where it even became a part of Romania from 1913 till 1940 (the Romanians
called Dobrich the name of Bazardjic).
At the end of World War Two when Bulgaria fell under the communist rule of the former Soviet
Union Dobrich was renamed once more for a short period to Tolbukhin after a revered Soviet
military commander, Dobrich finally got its name back in 1990.
