Naming the village  The
present village is named after Momchil Voyvoda, a medieval fighter
against the Ottoman invasion that had a fortress in the area and
a great defender of the local people.

history of the village goes back many centuries and in the surrounding
area many artifacts were found. Of these many were archeological
objects of great value such as tools and ornaments used at the time
of the Thraci - the Roman and Slavic civilisation - which logs the
proof of continuous life from the Bronze Age until the present day.
