history

The Sweta Marina Chapel

In ancient times there was a Roman villa rustica south of today's village . The Via Pontica ran nearby . In the Middle Ages there was a small fortress on the nearby Rossen mountain.

During the rule of the Ottoman Turks near Marinka there was a chiflik (from Turkish Çiftlik for "country house") called Archijanli (Bulgarian Архиянли). After Bulgaria was liberated from Turkish rule in 1878, the later Bulgarian Prime Minister Stefan Stambolow bought the 30,000 hectare Tschiflik from emigrating Turks. At that time, the Bulgarian King Tsar Boris III. Land within the current boundaries of the village.

In the period after the liberation and regaining of independence, Bulgarian refugees ( Thracian Bulgarians ) from the areas of Thrace and Macedonia still under Turkish rule settled in the Burgas region . The flow of refugees increased after the failed Ilinden-Preobraschenie uprising and the Balkan Wars (1912-13).

The first refugees settled here as early as 1909 and founded a settlement in the Karagözler area (Bulgarian Карагьозлер). Since 2015, the place has given its name to Marinka Point , a headland on the Brabant Island in Antarctica.
