The town of Troyan is situated in North Bulgaria , 160 km north –east of Sofia ( 400 m above sea – level ). It lies along the banks of the Beli Ossam River , in the foothills of the Troyan –Kalofer part of the Balkan Mountains. The name of Troyan originates from the ancient Roman road of Via Trajiana , which linked the Danube with the Aegean in the 1-2 c. AD . During the first half of the 19 c. numerous crafts thrived in Troyan . The most prominent of them was pottery making . Troyan was officially announced a town in 1868. Troyan was the third town of Buigaria to be supplied with electricity ( in 1911 ) after Sofia and Plovdiv . At present Troyan has a population of over 25 ,000 people , a well- developed infrastructure , a number of industrial plants and numerous private companies . There are lots of natural reserves in our region . They are part of the Central Balkan National Park
The teacher Hristo Stranjev founded the first mutual school in 1868 .Later the school was called by the citizens of Troyan ‘The Yellow school “ due to its painting . In 1939 a dormitory was built in the yard of the school with the donation of Konstantin Hadjii Kalchov .After 1945 the school was renamed Ivan Hadjiisky – one of the greatest sociologists and citizen of our town .Today we have 380 students from 1st to 8th grade and 32 teachers .
