Bistra Rindova
(Summary)
In 1920 – 1921, the villages of Gara Levunovo /today Novo Delchevo/
and Văksan /today Vălkovo/, then in Petrich District, were mainly settled
with refugees from Aegean Macedonia who fled the Greek genocide after
the Second Balkan War in Strumica district, then within the boundaries of
Kingdom of Bulgaria. After the Treaty of Neuilly, Strumica and its surroundings
were handed over to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
and part of the Macedonian Bulgarians came to Bulgaria. Several
families, including that of the squad chief Ivan Tashev /Vano Morarski/
who originated from the village of Morartsi, Kukush/Kilkis/ area, Gotse
Delchev’s first cousin and son of his aunt Kata Dimitrova Delcheva-Tasheva,
settled near Levunovo Railway Station and established a village they
named Novo Delchevo after Gotse Delchev’s surname. The second cousins
of Gotse Delchev – Trayko Popivanov and his sister Maria Petseva, nee
Popivanova, children of priest Ivan Stoyanov Traykov, native of the village
of Morartsi, first cousin of Sultana Yaneva Nurdzhieva (whose maiden
surname was Traykova), married to Nikola Dimitrov Belchev, settled in
