history
In the 19th century, Dereköy was a Bulgarian village (see Thracian Bulgarians ) in the kaza Kırklareli in Vilayet Edirne . In 1873 the village consisted of 360 households with 1684 Bulgarians.
After the Russo-Ottoman War from 1877 to 1878, the first families settled in Rasgrad and Tutrakan in liberated Bulgaria . According to statistics from Ljubomir Miletitsch , Derekoy had around 150 households and 634 inhabitants in 1900, all of whom were Christian Bulgarians.
During the Ilinden-Preobraschenie uprising of 1903, the village belonged to the so-called Strandscha region in the Adrianopol battle area and the Strandscha Republic . When the uprising was put down, the village was set on fire by the Turkish army . Over a third of the houses, the Bulgarian church and the Bulgarian school were burned down. 10 villagers lost their lives.
After the outbreak of the Balkan War in 1912, 16 volunteers from Derekoy fought in the Macedonia-Adrianople Volunteer Corps of the Bulgarian Army . In 1913, after the outbreak of the Second Balkan War, when the Turkish army recaptured Eastern Thrace, the entire Bulgarian population of Dereköy fled to Tsarist Bulgaria .
