History
Obzor Hill on Graham Land in Antarctica was named after the town in 2010. On 28 February 2021, the citizens of Obzor and six nearby villages voted in a referendum to separate from Nesebar Municipality and form an independent municipality, centered on Obzor. However, the referendum was subsequently declared invalid by presidential decree.
