In the region are discovered pottery vessels from the late Neolith, objects from the Halcolith and a cultural layer from the Bronze Age. With the development of the First Bulgarian State on the sites of the present settlements originates a new one which quickly develops and is known under the name of Slatina and later Byala Slatina.
