It is in the center of one of the flattest places in Bulgaria and in cloudy weather the Thracian plain can be seen in all directions, except for the blockage of an occasional hill.

The climate in the region is humid continental, the winter is mild, and the summer dry and hot, as the temperatures often pass 40 °C (105.8 °F).

Near the village, the so-called "Mayor's River" (Bulgarian: Майорска река), a canal from Maritsa, runs.

The local legends say that the village was founded by Baba Razha (Bulgarian: Баба Ръжа, or a variant Ружа)—she had been running from the Turks.

Others believe that the name developed from the Bulgarian word for "weapon" (Bulgarian: оръжие, orazhie) as The horse and the weapon have characterized Razhevo even before the Ottoman invasion—the rye farmers would have been occupied with the maintenance and defense of the road to Karlovo and the nearby mountain passes in Sredna Gora.A subdivision of the village Bratya Daskalovi has the same name as Razhevo.

[7] Around 2 km north of Razhevo, in the Yamachkata (or Rogachev Kladenets) area, where the Chernozem-Begovo road currently runs, there are traces of the largest settlement of the tribe in the region, which existed even during the Roman period.

[7][8] In the surrounding areas near Suhozem, a Roman army diploma to a Thracian named Doles was discovered.

He served in Syria under Emperor Vespasian (69-79 CE), which gives evidence of the widespread knowledge in Roman times of the region between Razhevo and Suhozem.

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.

[15] In the Second Balkan War, the Second Infantry Division caused severe damage to the Serbian army near the train station Udovo and Krivolak.

The Partisans Atanas Nikolov Chomakov (Bulgarian: Атанас Николов Чомаков) and Mincho Nikolov Rangelov (Bulgarian: Минчо Николов Рангелов) from Padarsko were betrayed by Rangel Dokov and the mayor of the village Lazar Chonov, trapped in Dokov's barn, and, after a short fight, in which Razhevo citizens such as Krum Vitanov Hristov participated, captured.
