The first settlers came to the current location of the village in 1812 from a village called Karasarli which was to the north of nowadays Zimnitsa. They worked on the sheepfold of a local Ottoman lord, so the settlement was named "Kishlakoy". The church was built in 1856 and saved the population during bandit attacks. In 1906 the village was renamed Zimnitsa.Economy
