The Slatino furnace model, an ancient ceramic artefact, was excavated at an archeological site near Slatino in the remains of a dwelling dated from the Eneolithic period (ca. 5000 BCE). In the Middle Ages the village was part of the Bulgarian Empire. In the 14th century Rila Charter of Emperor Ivan Shishman (r. 1371–1395) the surrounding lands were listed as a possession of the Rila Monastery.
