History

Early years (1921–1957)
PFC Montana was founded on 1921 under the name SC Hristo Mihaylov, after a union of a few sports clubs from the city. Until 1946, the most popular team was Botev 22. After 1944, many reforms in the club started.
On 10 February 1946, Botev 22, along with Yunak and Spartak formed "Physical Culture Company YBS 45" (Yunak-Botev-Spartak 45).
On 20 March 1947 "YBC 45" was united with Workers Physical Culture Company "Avram Stoyanov", the turists branch "Pustrina" and the local horse-riding and moto-organisation, under the name of "Hristo Mihaylov".
During the autumn of 1949, a lot of changes occurred.
The city began to form voluntary sports organizations on a departmental basis, the most famous of which is Septemvri, which from 1953 played their first 3 seasons in the "B Group".
In 1957 they were united in the SFS Septemvriyska Slava.
Settle in the professional football (1958–1992)
From 1957 to 1990 the sports club wore the name of Septemvriyska Slava. Montana gained a promotion for the second time in "B Group" in 1962, after which they finished in 3rd position, which remained their best ranking for the 60s and 80s, in which they almost always finished in the middle of the table. Since 1990, the club uses the name PFC Montana 1921.

During season 1994-1995 the team reached the Bulgaria first division " A group" for the first time, where they finished in 13th place and remaining in the division for 3 consecutive years. Montana reached the semi-final of the
