According to the statistics of Bulgarian ethnographer Vasil Kanchov from 1900, 2940 inhabitants lived in Berovo, 2300 Bulgarian Exarchists, 600 Bulgarian Muslims and 40 Romani. As a result of the Balkan Wars, the town was included in the area ceded in 1913 to the Kingdom of Serbia, which in 1918 joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929). From 1929 to 1941, Berovo was part of the Vardar Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. From 1941 to 1944, during the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, Berovo, as most of Vardar Macedonia, was annexed by the Kingdom of Bulgaria. Name According to the first version, Berovo got its name from a cattle breeder called Bero. An argument for this is the existence of the so-called Berovo meadow, in the area between the villages Mačevo and Robovo, which is considered to belong to this breeder. According to the second version, which is more probable, the name Berovo came from the fact that people rallied at that place, i.e. got its name from the syllables оf the word rally in Macedonian. The question arises where the population came from. It is believed they came from the old settlements in the area of Turtela, Selca, Ribnica, Razdolo, Klepalo, Dobri Laki and others, and later from other Maleshevo villages. These are located in the eastern part of Macedonia in the area of Maleshevo, i.e. the Maleshevo Valley. A wealth of beech, pine, oak forests was determined by its name "Malesh - mountain". The municipal center Berovo and the rural settlements are located on the outskirts of the valley. Climate Berovo, which is part of the Maleshevo Valley, has a humid continental climate with climate modification in the high mountainous and lowland parts.
