The Turgovishte State Archive was created in March 1963 as a result of the administrative and territorial reform of 1959. It was then subordinated to the People’s County Council of Turgovishte and, in 1988, it was incorporated within the structure of the Municipality of Turgovishte. In 1992, it passed under the direct governance of the General Department of Archives at the Council of Ministers. In 1978, it received the status of a directorate, but in 2010 it was reformed and became a division of the Regional State Archives of Varna Directorate.
