Even before the Liberation of Bulgaria in 1878, it had a mixed population of Bulgarians (settlers from the region of Preslav) and Turks, and it is so nowadays too. Following the Second Balkan War, Bulgaria was forced to cede it to Romania along with all of Southern Dobruja. The village was given back to Bulgaria according to the Treaty of Craiova of 1940. In 1942, it acquired its present name (in honour of the early medieval Bulgarian Dulo clan, with the Slavic place name suffix –ovo).
