Topolovgrad

'town of poplars'; Greek: Καβακλί Kavakli) is a town in south-central Bulgaria, part of Haskovo Province, situated at the northern foot of the Sakar Mountain.

[citation needed] Topolovgrad and the surrounding area have been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by the dolmens found at Hlyabovo and the Paleokastro fortress that may have been built by the Thracians.

[citation needed] Until the early 20th century, the town was predominantly inhabited by Greeks (96 percent) and hosted Greek schools and churches.

The Greek dialect of Topolovgrad is still spoken by some descendants in several villages of Greek Macedonia (see the video documentation from Koufalia village by Thede Kahl and Sotirios Rousiakis).
