Krushevë e Vogël lies about 1 km north of Klina. It has a compact settlement pattern. Recorded traces around the settlement include old burial grounds, bridge remains, evidence of earlier habitation and use of the area.
The settlement appears in written records from 1455, with further references in 1485, 1893. A register from 1485 records 13 households. The 20th century also brought emigration of residents to Turkey and Albania. During the interwar period, the settlement was also affected by Serbian and Montenegrin colonisation.
In 1919, the settlement suffered burning, looting or killings during actions by Serbian forces. During the 1998–1999 war, Serbian forces caused burning and destruction.
