A mound necropolis was discovered also to the east of the village after the sand quarry. The name Botevo is derived from the Bulgarian poet and revolutionary Hristo Botev. Once he got off the coast of Kozloduy from Radetzky boat, his way to the Vractsa Balkan passes near the village (side about 2.5 km. east).
