The first village community center in Bulgaria, founded in December 1869 by the revolutionary and cultural worker Bacho Kiro, became a center of the Bulgarian spirit. Serious educational and literary activities, closely connected with the revolutionary struggles, took place here. It was here that the seed of revolution was planted, and 101 rebels against the Ottoman rule - all members of the community center - followed their teacher to the battle in Dryanovo Monastery during the April Uprising in 1876.
