Territory - city

It was founded in the beginning of the 18th century as a village for workers of the local distillery, which was closed in 1848. Until 1972, the city's name was Melekess, after the river. On July 15, 1972, the city's name was changed to Dimitrovgrad, celebrating the 90th birthday of the Bulgarian former communist leader, Georgi Dimitrov. The city's leading enterprise, located 6 km (4 mi) to the south-west, is the country's Federal Nuclear Research Institute. One of the institutes's eight atomic reactors provides Dimitrovgrad with district heating. Dimitrovgrad's industry also includes an auto parts manufacturer, a carpet manufacturing plant, and a chemical processing equipment manufacturer.
