History
In the 17th century, a house ("Han") was built by Stefan Grk, which was later bought by Bishop Pajsije of Janjevo. A small settlement was established in 1887 around the house, and was given the name of Vladicin Han. In 1888, the first school was established, and a temple of Saint Nikola was built in 1905. In 1910, an iron bridge was built to replace the old wooden bridges. With the development of railways, it became an established town in the 1920s with flourishing trade and economy.[1]

Economy
The first factory that was established in the town was a brick factory, which is still operational. With the development of transport connectivity, the town saw an influx of people in the early half of the 20th century. Though agriculture was feasible in and around the areas surrounding the town, more people were engaged in manufacturing and trading due to its higher profitability. Trade fairs are common, with the largest fair taking place in September every year. The original market, which was established more than a hundred years ago on the river bed of Kalimaka, still functions as the main market place. Agricultural produce include dairy, fruits, potato, and corn. Between the 1920s and the 1940s, the town was a major center of tobacco production. The town was also popular for its crafts and indigenous works, with a craftsman center functioning since the late 19th century.[1]
