STARA ZAGORA (Turk. Eski-Zagra)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 794 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STARA ZAGORA (Turk. Eski-Zagra) , the
capital
  of a department of Bulgaria, in Eastern
Rumelia
 , on the southern slope of the Karaja Dagh, 70 M. N.W. of Adrianople, with which it is connected by railway. Pop. (1906), 20,647. It is surrounded by vineyards, and has also cloth and
carpet
  manufactures, copper foundries and tanneries. The production of
silk
  and
attar
  of'roses is carried on in the
district
 , which contains numerous
mineral
  springs. The town having been almost wholly destroyed during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, was rebuilt on a
regular
  plan, with wide and broad streets radiating from a fine central square, where are situated the
principal
  public buildings. During the rebuilding, important Thracian, Roman, Byzantine and Turkish antiquities were discovered.
Stara Zagora, founded probably by the Macedonians, was known to the Romans as Augusta Traiana, but afterwards, to distinguish it from a Macedonian town of this name, it was named Beroe or Berrhoea. By the Turks the name was changed in the 17th century to Eski-Zagra or Eski-Zaara, but after 1878 the Bulgarian name of Stara Zagora came into general use.
