Wars of 1912�1913, Rezovo became part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria and a limited number of Bulgarian refugees (25 families) from other parts of Eastern Thrace that remained under Ottoman rule settled in the village. According to Lyubomir Miletich's demographic survey of the Ottoman province of Edirne inThe Destruction of Thracian Bulgarians in 1913, published in 1918, before the wars Rezovo (??????) was a village in the district of Vassiliko inhabited by 70 Bulgarian Exarchist families.
After the wars, the main occupation of the locals was charcoal production and logging, with some agriculture, cattle breeding and fishing. Wood and charcoal were exported by means of the wooden pier in the Rezovo River. The population has gradually declined, however, but today Rezovo is a popular beach resort and a spot frequented by tourists because of its southeastern most location. Until recently, it was part of the border zone and visitors were required to be checked by Border Police officials. As Bulgaria joined the European Union on 1 January 2007, Rezovo became the contiguous EU's southeastern most point. On 2 January 2007, municipal mayor Petko Arnaudov hoisted the flag of Europein the village, along with the national and municipal flags, and the street starting from the Bulgarian border sign was renamed the Europe Alley.
In January 2011 a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak was registered in the village of Rezovo.
