General Toshevo (Bulgarian: Генерал Тошево [ɡɛnɛˈraɫ ˈtɔʃɛvo]; Romanian: Casim) is a town in northeastern Bulgaria, part of Dobrich Province.
Located in the historic region of Southern Dobruja, it is the administrative centre of the homonymous municipality and was named after the noted Bulgarian General Stefan Toshev.
[1] What is today General Toshevo was first mentioned in Ottoman tax registers as Kasım in 1573; according to archaeological evidence, the area had been settled by Getae in antiquity, and then by the Ancient Romans.
The surrounding region became part of the Bulgarian Empire after its establishment in 681 until it was conquered by the Ottomans in the late 14th century during the Bulgarian-Ottoman Wars.
It was initially renamed to Sfântul Dumitru ("Saint Demetrius") in 1918 from Casim and then, in 1934, to Ion Gheorghe Duca in honour of the politician and Prime Minister of Romania assassinated by the Iron Guard the previous year.
