Sratsimir has been a settlement since 1830. Its population comes from the villages in Ludogorie after the signing of the Treaty of Adrianople (1829). The settlers were tricked by the Russian authorities into settling in Moldova, but on the way they found that there were many free and rich lands with chernozem in the area. In addition, the 20-mile Silistra region is under occupation by the Russian Empire as a guarantee for the implementation of the peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire, and in particular for the payment of reparations.
