Historical demographics

In 1900, Vasil Kanchov gathered and compiled statistics on demographics in the area, finding a mainly Albanian area in and around Zerqan: the villages of Zerqan, Smollik, Sofraçan and Sopot were all entirely Albanian inhabited, while Tërnovë was inhabited by Slavic Muslims.[3]
