Demographic history

[edit]

Derjan (Dirjani) is recorded in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a settlement belonging to the timar of Ali in the vilayet of Mati. The village was relatively small with a total of five households which were represented by the following household heads: Pal Balazi, Mihal Divalmi, Andrija Kipota, Gjergj Divalmi, and Gjon Kipota. In the register, a certain Mark Kastrioti from Derjan is attested as a yamak stationed in the village of Shtjaknëz (modern Shqefën).[3]
