Summary/Abstract: After 1878 the restored Bulgarian state set on the way of its European development. Historians determine this development as quite turbulent and the years between the XIXth and XXth century – as economical paragon. Analyzing Pleven model in this article we try to present the current situation of post-Liberation Bulgarian society, as well as the achievements and efforts made by central and regional Bulgarian authorities for the country’s modernization. The main source used is the reports of the Pleven district governors from the comment period, which enrich the knowledge of the socio-economic trends of the era, give a general idea of the period and are a valuable source for this period of Bulgarian history. Looking at modernization processes not infrequently at the center of research in urban centers, while smaller settlements remain on the periphery. For this reason, in the following lines, in addition to Pleven, as the center of one of the counties in the country, we will also consider some of the processes near this town and settlement, thus obtaining a more complete picture of the processes taking place during this period. Analyzing and focusing on the period between these two decades on regional scale, we can easily determine that this development has not been easy at all, that it has been frequently hindered and opposed on behalf of the conservative Pleven citizens.
