According to Ethnography of the Adrianople, Monastir and Salonika vilayets, Štirovica in 1873 had 100 households with 235 Albanian Muslims.[2] In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village was inhabited by 400 Muslim Albanians.[3]
Due to uprisings in the Upper Reka region, Štirovica was burned down by Serbian and Bulgarian forces between 1912 and 1916.[4]
