Ravnogor is built on the land of the ancient Thracian tribes, testimony of which is the hills that can be found on the land of the village. The first name of the village dates back to the period of the Turkish Yoke and it was - Koriya (it means forest in Bulgarian). It was given with the acknowledgement of Ravnogor as an administrative unit in the Turkish Empire in 1777. Because of the fact that the Turkish didn’t succeed in converting the locals into Islam, they called the villagers “aksii” (bad), and the village “Aksi Koriya” (Bad Forest). After the independence, the county council changed the name to “Yasa Koriya” (Flat forest). That name was in use until 1934, when with a declaration from the Ministry it was changed to “Ravnogor” The main occupation was farming and animal breeding. They grew oat, pea, bean , corn, lentil and potato . Sheep, horses and cows were the most widely bred animals.
