history

The former name of the village used to be Gyun Yalasa which means "a sunny place" in Turkish. According to the local historians the village was established by Muslim settlers some three centuries ago, but historical evidence for this fact is not yet revealed. A prehistoric settlement has been discovered during excavation works on the slope near the village. It was set there because of the southern exposure and due to its location which does not allow it to be flooded. It has been proved that during one of its marches a knight's squad of the Polish king Vladislav the Third Varnenchik had set a camp near the village.

In the village there are 4 food shops, a community center, a mayoralty, a post-office, a doctor's office, a cafe, an Orthodox church, a monument dedicated to all heroes perished in wars. The secondary school in the village was established in 1882. Nowadays the younger pupils are attending a school in Ignatievo village, as the municipality has arranged a free transportation for them. Part of the senior pupils are attending various schools in the city of Varna as most of them are commuting on a daily basis.
The church in the village has been consecrated in 1899. The wealthy inhabitants of the village, back then, have donated the first icons to the church. Eight years ago it has undergone an overhaul.
Since the population of Slanchevo has almost doubled during the past few years and the number of young people and children has increased, too the mayor and the locals are making arrangements for the construction of a educational and entertainment center for the youngsters.
