Bulgarin village was founded at the end of the 19th century in the Maritsa River valley, when Bulgarian families from Aegean Thrace and the Rhodope Mountains settled here after Bulgaria's Liberation and established a strong farming community. The mild climate and fertile land made the area welcoming to people of different ethnic backgrounds. In the past, many residents practised sericulture, which was an important source of income. Today, sheep, buffaloes, sesame, vegetables and fruit are the main agricultural products.
The cultural heart of the village is Vasil Levski Community Centre (Chitalishte) – 1928, home to an active traditional folklore group that represents Bulgarin Village at national and international folklore festivals throughout Bulgaria.
The village celebrates its annual festival on 21 September, when residents and visitors gather for a traditional fair. On this day, Bulgarin Village becomes a meeting place for generations, memory and living folklore.
The Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God Church was built in 1877. The people of Bulgarin village take pride in the deeds of their ancestors, who participated in Bulgaria's struggles for national liberation and unification. In their honour, a memorial plaque dedicated to the 3rd Company of the 18th Etar Regiment of Tsar Boris III was erected on the hill above the village in 1941. Another memorial in the village centre commemorates local residents who lost their lives in the struggle for national independence and unification. In 2025, relatives and admirers of Captain Kiril Siderov—chronicler and adjutant of the 10th Rhodope Infantry Regiment, who died in 1925—placed a commemorative plaque on the façade of his birthplace in the village.
The village centre features a pleasant park with a fountain and a small market where visitors can buy seasonal produce from local farmers. Bulgarin village is one of the places where the traditional ahchak is still prepared—a sheep's milk product similar to katak. Local producers also make apple vinegar and natural pear juice. The village is home to a sesame tahini workshop, a confectionery workshop, and skilled local women who prepare homemade lyutenitsa, fruit preserves and spice blends. Ask at the community centre if you would like to meet them.
