Geography
The territory spanned over the area locked in the upper valley of the Vacha River and most of its tributaries. The rebel territory initially consisted of 17 villages but its number increased up to 21 in 1880. Some of those villages were Trigrad, Mugla, Beden, Mihalkovo, Skobelevo, Churukovo and Devin.
History
The republic survived until 1886, when Eastern Rumelia was incorporated into Bulgaria.[1] Then the area was returned to the Ottoman Empire.
