Since antiquity the valley of the Yantra river to the west of Veliko Turnovo where
the lands of the village of Shemshevo lie has been inhabited by people. Prehistoric,
ancient and medieval settlements, fortresses and necropolises have been identified and
located as a result of archeological field trips and from written sources.
The oldest settlement which marks the foundation of the present-day village of
Shemshevo, also called Sinigerovo, is situated on a piece of land called Asha-Chair,
about 500m to the east of the village. It was destroyed in 1515 by the army of Murza
Tatarski. Survivors from the village adopted the Islam and founded the village of Alipi
recorded in 1555 under the name of Shemshikyoi. This village grew larger at the end of
the 17th century with the settling of emigrants from the mountainous parts around Tryavna.
Christian and Muslim neighbourhoods were formed. In 1638 according to a Turkish tax
register there are 28 adult Bulgarian men living in the village.
