[edit | edit source]

In 1878, Serbian ethnologist Milan Milićević recorded local traditions that the inhabitants of Ivan Kula are Albanians who settled after the Battle of Kosovo in the 14th century.[2] The name of the village comes from Ivan Begu. In 1876, the majority of the Albanians in Ivan Kula were Muslims while there existed also an Orthodox and Catholic minority.[2]
