Dodona (Gradica) is in the municipality of Drenas. An Ottoman register from 1455 documents the settlement under the form Doljni Gradac with 15 households. A later register from 1566 documents the settlement.
The register from 1893 documents the settlement under the form Gradica. For 1998–99, the source documents burning by Serbian forces.

In 1877–78, Albanian muhajir families expelled from the Sanjak of Niš settled there; the source records that they later moved away.
