Sevlievo (Bulgarian: Севлиево [sɛvˈliɛvo]) is a town in north-central Bulgaria, part of Gabrovo Province.

Sevlievo is known as one of the wealthiest towns in Bulgaria owing to the well developed local economy, high employment rate and major foreign investments, such as the Ideal Standard Companies factory.

[2][3][4] The earliest traces of occupation in the region date back to the late Neolithic period (around the 8th century BC).

In the mid-1850s, Kolyu Ficheto, a prominent master of the Bulgarian National Revival period, built the stone bridge over the Rositsa River.

In 1844 the famous wealthy craftsman and merchant, Hadzhi Stoyan Nikolov, invested his own money in the building of a huge school.
