the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century, rye workers established the adjacent villages Razhevo Konare and Begovo. Until Bulgarian independence, these two villages and Razhevo were the only villages in the region with Bulgarian names. During the 19th century, Razhevo's land was a few times larger, and the division of parts of its land for the surrounding villages led to conflict with Razhevo citizens and their neighbors. In 1904, the newspaper "Prosveta" said: The conflict for the land was especially tense with the citizens of the village Karatoprak (from 1934 onward "Chernozemen"), many of which were refugees from Western Thrace, and for this reason were called "Greeks" by the villagers of Razhevo. The Thracian refugees settled on the higher right bank of the Stryama, where the soil is very fertile black soil, and the opposing villagers thus had difficulties telling their fields apart from their neighbors'. The first refugee houses were quickly destroyed by armed Razhevo villagers. In the beginning of the 20th century, the argument over the Raynov Trap (Bulgarian: Райнов Tрап) had even human casualties. Throughout the 19th century, in the Razhevo region, many hajduk gangs under the leadership of Valko Voivoda from the village Voynyagovo, and of the Razhevo citizen Haydut Trifon from the large Razhevo family Gergyovtsi, who had a well in the village named for him. In Eastern Rumelia and Bulgaria After the Russo-Turkish War, and because of the Treaty of Berlin, Razhevo became a part of Eastern Rumelia. The villagers, famous in the region for their conservative tempers, unlike their neighbors in the villages Razhevo Konare and Chernozemen, did not actively participate in the political life of Eastern Rumelia or Bulgaria, nor in the resistance movement, but, loyal to their country, decided to join the Bulgarian army. There, they participated in the heroic march from the Turkish border to the Serbian border to stop the invading Serbian soldiers near Slivnitsa. During the First and Second Balkan Wars, and World War I, the villagers fought for Bulgarian reunification in the Ninth Plovdiv Infantry Regiment of the Second Thracian Infantry Division. Two citizens from Razhevo were volunteers in the Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps. In the Second Balkan War, the Second Infantry Division caused severe damage to the Serbian army near the train station Udovo and Krivolak. During World War I, it participated in the Battles of Doiran in 1913, 1916, 1917, and 1918. They
