In 1951 the town was renamed after the Bulgarian revolutionary Georgi (Gotse) Nikolov Delchev. It had hitherto been called Nevrokop[1] (in Bulgarian: Неврокоп, Nevrokop; in Greek: Νευροκοπι, Nevrokopi; and in Turkish: Nevrokop).
Nearby are the remains of a walled city established by the Romans in the 2nd century AD to celebrate victories over the Dacians. The town was called Nicopolis ad Nestum. There has been archaeological work on the site, which ceased due to lack of funds around 1986. The town was a kaza in Syar sanjak of Selanik vilayet before the Balkan Wars.
There is a hospital for endocrine surgery, named Simvol na nadezhdata (Символ на надеждата) (translated sign of hope), established with the help of the Union of Free Evangelic Churches in Germany.
