Abstract: The historical development of the Agricultural Fund in Svishtov during the period spanning from the Liberation to the establishment of the Bulgarian Agricultural Bank has yet to be explored as an independent topic. It has primarily been a part of broader research addressing the city's banking and credit history. This article initiates a comprehensive study of this significant institution. It outlines the principal functions and services provided by the fund, highlights both its strengths and weaknesses in development, and assesses its place and role in the local economic landscape. An analysis of the available data reveals that during this period, the Svishtov Agricultural Fund held a pivotal position in the economic life of the region. It played a vital role in introducing modern agricultural techniques and innovative crop production methods, as well as animal selection practices. These advancements led to increased productivity and improved incomes for the local population. With the fund's support, the region flourished as a key agricultural center.
