Suvorovo was originally named Kozludža during the Ottoman era (Kozluca in modern Turkish), usually spelled Kozludzha or Kozludja (Bulgarian : Козлуджа) meaning "place filled with walnuts" (kozlu); this name still persists in Turkish. In 1934 it was renamed Novgradets (Bulgarian : Новградец). Its present name is in honor of Generalissimus Alexander Suvorov, one of the famous Russian military commanders, who won a decisive battle of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774 in the vicinity of the modern town. The town has a historical museum, a community centre ( chitalishte ), an Eastern Orthodox church dedicated to the Ascension of Jesus and a mosque.
