During 1916, the highest absolute temperature (45.2 degrees Celsius or 113.36 degrees Fahrenheit) was recorded from the Sadovo weather station. This is the highest temperature to have ever been recorded in Bulgaria.
A large railway line runs through Sadovo towards Dimitrovgrad, and the Greece city Alexandroupolis.
Sadovo began between the years 1365-1390, when the city was founded by Turkish villagers in Thrace—during the time when Ottoman Empire , such as Murad I and Bayezid I, ruled Bulgaria. It was a Turkish and Muslim village in the beginning, populated only by Turkish Muslims. The earliest testament to its existence is in a Turkish register from 1472, where it is described under the name "Cheshnegir" in "Filibe" (Plovdiv), and where it is recorded that all of the villagers were Turkish Muslims.НБКМ-Сф,ОО - ОАК 94/73,л.50а - справка на сътрудника към Османския отдел към софийската Народна библиотека - д-р Стоян Шиваров.
The reference can be found in the personal archive of the historian Lyubomir Vasilev from Sadovo's neighboring village, Kochevo. The "Bulgarianization" and Christianity of Sadovo began during the 17th century, when in the short register from a tax for Plovdivsko from 1622, there is already evidence that in Sadovo, there were already 9 Christian households.Istanbul - BOA, MAD 3398, s.4-15 - там са селищата от Филибе, сред които е и Садово - личен архив на Любомир Василев от село Кочево, Пловдивско 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.Istanbul - BOA, MAD 3604,s.114-136 - там са описани селищата от нахията Конуш, сред които е и Садово - личен архив на Любомир Василев от село Кочево, Пловдивско.
