Summary
The present paper attempts to outline the demographic and economic outlook of the town of Svishtov from ancient times to the beginning of the Bulgarian Revival. The data throwing light on these issues are relatively scarce and can be found in archaeological excavations in the vicinity of the town, in published historical documents, foreign travelogues and in researches on the town of Svishtov and the economic-historical development of Bulgarian lands. The study is a survey and aims to summarize and systematize the present information from historical sources and historical-geographical research on the problems posed. Thus the prerequisites for the increased role of the town during the Revival can be more fully and more precisely explained.
