History

Toponica (Albanian: Topanica) had 61 houses inhabited by Albanians before the Expulsion of the Albanians took place in 1877–1878 and 32 houses were inhabited by Serbians.[2] All Albanians left the Žitorađa region by force of the Serbian army and fled to modern-day Kosovo, which was back then the Vilayet of Kosovo of the Ottoman Empire.
