Delčevo (Macedonian: Делчево [ˈdɛɫtʃɛvɔ] ⓘ) is a small town in the eastern mountainous part of North Macedonia.

Until the 17th century, the settlement laid on the right side of the river Bregalnica on the present toponym Selishte, more precisely under the hill Ostrec near the road leading to Bulgaria.

It is assumed that at the time of that sultan the settlement was moved to its present place on the left side of the river Bregalnica.

However, it is thought-provoking that the Turkish travel writer Evliya Çelebi spent here only a few years later in 1670 and wrote in his Travelogue: "From Vinica we climbed the Kocani mountain ore, moving through the gorge and after four hours we reached Tsarevo Selo.

The area around the church was at this time mainly inhabited by Bulgarians fleeing Turkish oppression from the surrounding villages.

After the end of the war the Christian population, fearing for their safety, fled the region seeking refuge on the territory of the newly created Bulgaria.

After the liberation, on April 23, 1950, the Presidium of the National Assembly of the People's Republic of Macedonia decided that Tsarevo Selo should be renamed Delčevo, in honor of Goce Delčev.

Today Delčevo is a modern urban settlement with wide asphalt streets and boulevards, sewerage network and parks and greenery.

Delčevo is located 164 km (102 mi) east of Skopje, along the river Bregalnica at the foot of Mount Golak.

The football club FK Bregalnica Delčevo play their home games at the City Stadion "Goce Delčev", which has a capacity of 5,000 people.

A festival in celebration of the Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary leader Goce Delčev is held every year on August 2.

The ruins of the (Byzantine) village of Vasilevo lie about 3km (1,9mi) southeast of the town, and the Monastery of Sveta Bogoridica (St.
