Stamboliyski (Bulgarian: Стамболийски [stɐmboˈlijski]) is a town in Plovdiv Province, southern Bulgaria. It is located on the Maritsa river.[2] Stamboliyski was founded in 1873–75, when the Istanbul-Belovo railway was built. It was initially called Gara Krichim ('Krichim Station') after the largest village in the vicinity then, Krichim.
