The town is located in the western Danubian Plain. Until the Liberation of Bulgaria in 1878, it was known as "Barzitsa" (Бързица) in Bulgarian, but it had the Ottoman name "Osmaniye". In 1880, it was renamed to "Aleksandrovo" after the Bulgarian knyaz Alexander I of Battenberg. It was briefly named "Vlaykovo" in honour of Todor Vlaykov in 1936, but the name was changed back to honour Alexander as "Knyaz Aleksandrovo" in the same year. Finally, the modern name of "Dimovo" was established in 1951, after local partisan Zhivko Puev's nickname, "Dimo".
