Like all Balkan mountain settlements, Dryanovo reached its bloom at the time of the Bulgarian National Revival. In 1883 it was proclaimed a town. Masons and woodcarvers spread the fame of the town throughout Bulgaria and far away in the Ottoman Empire.
The oldest traces of life on Balkan Peninsula were discovered in the area, proofs for human presence from the Paleolithic epoch were descovered in Bacho Kiro cave near Dryanovo monastery, situated in Andaka river valley. Numerous relics of ancient villages, fortresses, pillars with inscriptions and ornaments from Thracian and Roman times (Boruna and Diskoduratera fortresses) were discovered there.
Dryanovo is sometimes referred to as "a town of centenarians" for the healthy climatic conditions prolonging the people's life. It is also known as the birthplace of the renowned architect Kolyu Ficheto.
