== Etymology == During the 17th century, many families migrated from Progonat to other areas of Albania in order to avoid heavy taxation and the Islamization campaigns of the Ottoman Empire. The migrants founded the commune Progër in Devoll. The name Progër is from Progonat, as the villagers were originally from there and named it after their native village.
