The Villages history dates back further than kept records, however, some of the oldest citizens claim the village has been around for well over 500 years. The village is situated at the foot of the Baba Mountain Range and on the border of the Bitola and Demir Hisar Municipalities. Due to the construction of the Streževo dam, the village itself has become abandoned. Apart from the rare visit back to the abandoned homes for activities such as wood collection for the winter it is, most of the time, empty. houses have mostly become overgrown with shrubs and bushes and the main town hall is falling apart due to the neglect. Streževo's former residents and their descendants do still gather in the village for Ivan Den which is celebrated at Streževo's monastery. This celebration takes place on 7 July.
