history
During the Serbian-Bulgarian War of 1885/86 the front line ran right next to the village. In preparation for the decisive battle of Slivnitsa , the Bulgarian army built trenches and entrenchments for the artillery in the surrounding hills, which were captured by the Preslav and Razgrad regiments. On November 6th, July / November 18, 1885 greg. the village and the Bulgarian positions were attacked by Serbian troops of the Šumadija and Drina divisions. The Bulgarians were able to hold their positions and on the following day repel the Serbs with a counter-offensive.
The collectivism of agriculture pursued by the Bulgarian communists and the state-imposed planned economy led to the emigration of the population, especially towards Sofia. In recent years, however, young families have been settling here again.
Today the primary school "Iwan Wasow", a health center and a post office operate in the village.
The place is since 2011 named after the Aldomir Ridge , a mountain ridge in Graham Land in Antarctica.
