The climate in the region is temperately continental; soils are rich, thus conducive to the development of agriculture.

The natural mineral water springs are not utilized and provide a great opportunity for the outside investor interested in bottling and exporting quality natural spring water.
The population of the municipality numbers 30,000 residing in the town of Chirpan and the remaining villages. The region has a rich ancient history evidenced by the Karasura archeological excavations.
Chirpan is the cultural and economic center of their region and the residence of the municipal administration. The town is the birthplace of a number of famous Bulgarian artists and musicians, most notably Peyo Yavorov, one of Bulgaria's greatest poets.
