Dračevo (Macedonian: Драчево) is a suburb in the municipality of Kisela Voda, North Macedonia. It is a suburb of Skopje and one of the first major settlements in that region and has a fully developed socio-economical life. It is located 10 km south-east from the center of the city of Skopje.

## Demographics

[edit]

According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Dračevo appears as being inhabited by mixed Slavic-Albanian Orthodox population. Some families had a mixed anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.[1]

According to the statistics of Bulgarian ethnographer Vasil Kanchov from 1900, 1180 inhabitants lived in Dračevo, all Bulgarian Exarchists.[2]

According to the Secretary of the Bulgarian Exarchate Dimitar Mišev ("La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne"), in 1905 there were 1080 Bulgarians in Dračevo, labelled by him as exarchists.[3]

In his 1927 map of Macedonia, German explorer Leonhard Schultze-Jena shows Dračevo as Bulgarian.[4]
