Demographics Osolnicа (Ostolnica) is recorded in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the vilayet of Upper Dibra, part of the timar of Topçi Ali. The settlement was recorded as abandoned.
According to Ottoman tahrir defters from the 1520s, 16 villages (all present-day Centar Župa villages) associated with Kala-i Kodžadžik had no Muslim population.
