Village of Satovcha, Blagoevgrad

The village of Satovcha (Blagoevgrad district) is administrative, economic, political and cultural centre of Municipality of Satovcha. Legends say that the village of Satovcha existed under the name Svatovitsa or Satovitsa before Bulgaria fell under the Ottoman rule in c. 14. Small settlements used to exist in the neighbouring areas. Their inhabitants moved to the present-day village for greater security.
The name of the village probably came from the old Bulgarian word sad (honeycomb) or the personal name Sato. It was mentioned in the Ottoman registers as early as the second half of C. 15.
The tourist industry is still not well-developed in the municipality, although there are good prerequisites for the development of hunting tourism, and also attractive country and ecological tourism. The Dikchan State Game-Breeding Farm in the village of Satovcha develops hunting tourism.
