city in Stolichna municipality, Sofia Capital oblast, Bulgaria
Buhovo (Bulgarian: Бухово [ˈbuxovo]) is a town in western Bulgaria and a district within the Sofia Capital Municipality. Buhovo is located 24 km northeast of the center of the capital Sofia.
History
In prehistory, during the middle and late Neolithic (New Stone Age), Buhovo was located 1.5 kilometers east of its current location. Evidence of its previous occupants remains (potsherds, hammers, axes, and awls), through which the event is dated. Back then the name of Buhovo was Ursul.
In 1928 the "St. Nicholas" church was built. In 1938, with help from Germany, uranium deposits were developed.
The village of Buhovo was declared a town with Decree 1942 of the State Council of the PRB of 09.04.1974 (Prom. SG. 72 of 17.09.1974).

Why this record matters
The phrase “city in Stolichna municipality, Sofia Capital oblast, Bulgaria” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 1, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2597688. Authority coordinates are 42.764, 23.566. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1928, 1938, 1942 and 1974.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
