Kolovicë is one of the settlements documented in the first volume of Jusuf Osmani's study. The source notes archaeological traces linking the locality with early phases of habitation.
The author also records old religious remains or burial sites identified in the field or preserved in local tradition. In written records, the source traces the settlement at least to 1893, with further references in 1896, 1900. Following the expulsions of Albanians in 1877–1878, the source records the arrival of Albanian muhajir families from the Sanjak of Niš.
For 1998–1999, the source documents the expulsion or forced departure of residents, the burning, destruction or damage of homes and other property.
