In the book “Ethnographie des Vilayets d'Adrianople, de Monastir et de Salonique”, published in Constantinople in 1878, that reflects the statistics of the male population in 1873, Trebišta was noted as a village with 150 households, of which 255 were Pomaks and 144 were Bulgarians.[3] According to Vasil Kanchov’s statistics, in 1900, Trebišta had 192 Christian Bulgarian inhabitants and 640 Muslim Bulgarians.[4] The whole Christian population of the village was under the supremacy of the Bulgarian Exarchate.
