In Turkish times it was a small village and was often attacked and looted. The old name of the village is Gol tupan , and during the campaign for renaming of settlements after 1934 it was renamed Sratsimirovo.[1] In 1978, Sratsimirovo was separated from the municipality of Dunavtsi and joined the municipality of Gramada.[2]
