Sadovo municipality area also includes the villages Ahmatovo, Bogdanitsa, Bolyartsi, Karadzhovo, Katunitsa, Kochevo, Milevo, Mominsko, Popovitsa, Seltsi and Cheshnegirovo.

Sadovo began between the years 1365-1390, when the city was founded by Turkish villagers in Thrace—during the time when Ottoman sultans, such as Murad I and Bayezid I, ruled Bulgaria.

[3] The reference can be found in the personal archive of the historian Lyubomir Vasilev from Sadovo's neighboring village, Kochevo.

[4] However, up until the end of the 17th century, the village remains predominantly Muslim, even though a large increase in a Bulgarian Christian element can be seen from other documents.

In another register from a tax for Plovdivsko from 1695 under the name Chashnagir, 33 families lived in the settlement, with 18 being Muslims and the other 15 Bulgarian Christians.
