Plov is located on the banks of Maritsa River in the upper Thracian lowlands.

The climate and the geographic location of the town have contributed to its development and continued growth. Plov is a crossroads of international importance and links the East with Europe, the Baltic with the Mediterranian, the Black Sea with the Adriatic regions. The six picturesque hills of the city impart a unique beauty to this town. Plov is one of the most ancient towns not only in Bulgaria but in all Europe.

Plov was contemporary with Troy and is also more ancient than Rome and Athens. Its first inhabitants were two Thracian tribes, the Odrysae and the Bessae, who lived in the Maritsa River Valley and the Rhodope Mountains. They established a fortified settlement on three of the hills, and gave it the name Evmolpia, or ``melodious", taking this name after the mythycal poet and musican Orpheus.

Macedonian rule ended after only half a century. Seuthes III, the tsar of the Odrysae, restored the Thracian Kingdom.

Over two centuries the Romans conquered Thrace. Up to 72 BC they took possession of the whole Maritsa River Valley, including Philipopolis. They renamed the town Trimontium, a town on three hills. They quickly realized the strategic location of the town and undertook major building projects: stone-paved roads, public buildings, churches, baths, staduims and theathres. The town went beyond the outline of the three hills and extended into the surrounding valley.

At the end of the 4th Century AD, with the decline of the Roman Empire, the Bulgarian region was separated into two parts. Plov became a part of the Eastern Roman Empire, beginning the so-called Byzantine period of the history of Trimontium. The town had many names during this period - Ulpia, Flavia, Julia.

Around the 6th Century, migrating Slavic tribes began  to filter into the city, gradually changing the ethnic structure of the whole region. They took up the Thracian name of the town, Pulpudeva, modifying it to Puldin and Ploudin.

Plov is all in one: a Thracian and classical Greek polis, the pride of Philip of Macedon, the capital of Thrace under the Roman Empire, a centre of Byzantinism, a stronghold of the Bulgarians, a dream of the crusaders - a magnificent, wealth and most important city.
