Its predecessor, the Bulgarian Posts and Telecommunications company, was founded as the Bulgarian Posts and Telegraphs after the Liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule, as the provisional Russian administration handed over all post and telegraph offices to the newly restored Bulgarian state in 1879. It joined the General Postal Union in the same year.[3][5] On March 31, 1997, "Bulgarian Posts" EOOD was transformed into a joint-stock company.
In 2005, the company operated with 3,008 post offices and a total length of 80,060 km with the postal route. The company was a monopoly in the country in providing universal postal service until 2006.
As of 2016[update], Bulgarian Posts reported operating 2,981 post offices[3] and 4,814 mailboxes.[6]
