Tsvetino (Bulgarian: Цветино) is a village located in Velingrad Municipality, Pazardzhik Province, Southern Bulgaria.[1]
The village of Tsvetino is located in a mountainous area 25 km southwest of Velingrad. Mainly potatoes are grown, due to harsh climate conditions in the area.
History[edit]
Tsvetino is considered an old village in the Chepino Valley, as it was first originated as a pastoral settlement. The people came to the village from Macedonia after a plague epidemic, which concludes that the people speak a Macedonian dialect.[2] Until 1979 the village was the centre of a municipality with 35 scattered neighborhoods and huts, and then it became a village with an mayor, even though its under the 350 people requirement.[2]
The old name is Florovo, deriving from the French word fleur, which means flower.[3]
