There is an interesting historical legend associated with Tsarski Peak located not far from the village. According to it, in 335 BC there was a battle between the army of the Macedonian king Alexander III the Great and a local Thracian ruler. It took place during the Macedonian king's campaign against the Tribals - a thracian tribe in Mysia. It is assumed that Borushtitsa was founded in 1323, during the reign of King Mihail Shishman. Towards the end of the 14th century it was settled by refugees from Borui (Stara Zagora) who fled after the conquest of the town by the Turks in 1371. Probably the origin of the name of the village is related to this event (from Borui). Other assumptions about the origin of the name are from the tree "pine", because once there were large pine forests around the village. Today there are no pine trees in the Balkan Mountains, but excavations in the region and written sources show that there were such forests in the past. During the Ottoman occupation, besides the Bulgarian name, a Turkish name of the village was also used - Bürek dire.
The village of Borushtitsa is located in a mountainous area - on the southern slope of the Balkan Mountains, 50 km north of Stara Zagora and 40 km west of Kazanlak. The altitude of the railway station is 720 metres. The local population works mainly in the BDZ structures. The railway line Dubovo - Tsareva Livada - Gorna Oryahovitsa passes through the village. The two neighboring villages are Raduntsi (known for its sanatorium for tuberculosis diseases) and Krastets. Krastets is located on the ridge of the Balkan Mountains and the hiking route Kom - Emine passes through it. The forests in the area are both deciduous and mixed (deciduous and coniferous). Beech and hornbeam predominate. Almost all herbs typical of the Bulgarian mountains are found, as well as many berries and mushrooms. Worm hole cave is located 3 km south of the village.
