The origins of the village are tied to the Qafa e Shengjergjit, which was used in ancient times as a caravan route between the ancient city of Orikum and more inland cities. Eventually the trail was forgotten by merchants and is only used by sheepherders in contemporary times [REF].
The eventual Communist victory led to the village being part of the Albanian Communist state for over fifty years, however after the fall of Hoxhaism, the village has seen a massive drop in population as people migrate to different areas of the world, and in Albania itself.
