It is part of [[Nesebar Municipality]], [[Burgas Province]]. On February 28, 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. Voting activity was 76.02% and approximately 70% of people voted for independence. The [[Thracian language|Thracian]] and [[ancient Greek]] name of Obzor was {{lang|grc|Ναύλοχος}} '''{{lang|grc-Latn|Naulochos}}'''.
