Delcevo Now

  The town has been bearing its present name Delcevo since 1950 in honor of a great revolutionary and ideologist Goce Delcev who had come here many times while he was teaching in the village Novo Selo, near Stip.

After Russian - Turkish war (1878)a big number of christian population left to Bulgaria and Turks-Magiri from Asia moved on their place.   There was a second big movement. Thirty years later during the Balkan wars, but this time with Turkish population.

Between two world wars Delcevo was a small provincial town with dilapidated houses, small number of craft shops with narrow muddy streets.
