About the locality:
Bulgarians moved to this location in 1828. At the end of the nineteenth century the village had 3585 inhabitants, mostly “Serbs” who were working in market gardening (

Lahovari, G. I., C. I. Bratianu, G. Tocilescu 1898-1902 3: 744). In 1906 S. Romanski heard from Bulgarian informants in the neighbouring village Herăşti that fifty to sixty Bulgarian families had moved from Herăşti to Hotarele in 1863 (
Жечев, Н. 1983: 56;
