Gjilani

In the Ottoman Defter of 1455, it is said that this settlement had 41 houses, and according to the cadastral de fi cation of 1566-1974, there were 38 houses and 12 single. This place of residence is later mentioned in written documents and in different descriptive directions.
Another opinion says that an Ottoman officer who stayed in this settlement was from an Gjejlan, somewhere in Syria or elsewhere in the Middle East and has baptized with that name, while the most realistic opinion lies in the fact that in Gjilan, around the year 1750 the (Gjinolli Family) was established, which came from Novoberdo, belonging to the Gjinaj tribe, so also this family (Bahti Beg Gjinolli) got its name. It is said that the first settlement of Gjilan was the most northwest in today's Dardania I neighborhood, but since 1830 it included a fire and burned completely. The Gjinolli family then moved the city to the east, in the midst of today's commodity and market house, a neighborhood that also called Begler's Corner.
The icons of the city are:

• Idriz Seferi who died in war for the freedom in 927.
