At its recorded peak in 1939, the Czech colony constituted 527 people out of 798, the remainder consisting of 104 Slovaks, 148 Bulgarians, 13 Russians (or Rusyns), and 6 Serbs.

Although all but a dozen families left in 1949-1950 after being recalled to settle depopulated border territories of Czechoslovakia, the village has largely preserved its characteristically Czech rural architecture.

Compared to the Bulgarian village houses, those in Voyvodovo are low and elongated, they are painted white and have red roofs with a black plinth and narrow windows with wooden shutters.

There still exists a Methodist community, which in the early 20th century, under the guidance of pastors Martin Roháček, Gottlieb Koval and Jozef Harmann, was the most prosperous in all Bulgaria.

In the 1950s, the almost deserted village was settled by Bulgarians, mostly from the southwestern parts of the country, such as Kyustendil, Belitsa and Ihtiman, but also from other places including the Western Outlands.
