Up to 1877 there was an Ottoman royal farm in place of the town. But during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) Muslim people from Bulgaria Pomaks who escaped from the Russian armies were settled in the farm to form the core of the town.[3] According to the mayor's page, a well known wrestler named Kavasoğlu İbrahim arranged this allocation.[4] The settlement was declared a seat of township in 1955. The name of the town means "great dairy" and it refers to the main activity of town residents.
