Historical records of the settlement date back to the early 15th century, during the Ottoman Empire, although evidence from the surrounding areas indicates the area was likely settled much earlier. Historically, it has been an important part of the marble trade, and is notable for its long history of shifting Pomak Muslim and Christian village populations and tensions.
