Treklyano

]

During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, the village has been abandonded and reestablshed several times. There was an influx of settlers during the First Serbian Uprising of 1804, the Second Serbian Uprising of 1815-1817 and after the newly-liberated Principality of Serbia included some then-Bulgarian-populated areas in 1831-1833.

The first school in the village was a monastery school founded in 1853, while a secular school was opened 10 years later. A new Bulgarian Orthodox church dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos was built in 1860 at the place of an older church. After the Liberation of Bulgaria, Treklyano grew rapidly: at its peak it had up to 800 houses and a population of around 4,000. A community centre ("chitalishte") was established in 1901.
