Borovitsa means ""pine stone"" - the name of the rock that towers over the village with the same name. On top of the rock was once a huge pine tree, that was destroyed by fire. The ancient village was located next to the stone so it can help people hide in case of attack by the Ottoman invaders. After the Liberation of Bulgaria, the village has gradually been built out along the Lom River and along the road to Belogradchik.
