History[]
In 1845 the Russian slavist Victor Grigorovich recorded Tsrevo as mainly Bulgarian village.[1]
In the book “Ethnographie des Vilayets d'Adrianople, de Monastir et de Salonique”, published in Constantinople in 1878, that reflects the statistics of the male population in 1873, Tzerovo was noted as a village with 30 households and 76 male Bulgarian inhabitants.[2] According to the statistics of Geographers Dimitri Mishev and D. M. Brancoff, the village had a total Christian population of 400 in 1905, consisting of 200 Exarchist Bulgarians and 200 Patriarchist Bulgarians (Grecomans).[3] It also had 2 schools, 1 Bulgarian and 1 Greek.[3]
