There used to be a Thracian settlement here colonised by the Greek in later times in 5 th century before Christ. The town was called Anhialo being at same time a colony of Apolonia as well (today Sozopol). The colony became wealthy producing salt - extracted from the nearby lake - and wine for trade and export. Later renamed Paleokastro (Old Fortress) by the Greeks, it was a thriving place and a regional administrative center under the Romans, who knew it as Ulpia. The area was the site of numerous battles between Bulgarians and Byzantines, the most famous being in 917 when Tsar Simeon emerged victorious. Conquered by the Ottomans in 1453, Pomorie became the most important town on the Black Sea Coast next to Varna.
