History

The village is recorded in the 1467/68 defter, as a timar (land grant) of Hamza Arnauti, Arnaut being a Turkified version for Albanian.[1] During the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, Muslims from the Debar area settled in villages in the Skopje area, such as Pagaruša.[2]

Demographics

On the 1927 ethnic map of Leonhard Schulze-Jena, the village is shown as an Albanian village.[3] Pagaruša has traditionally been inhabited by a Torbeš population.[2][4] The village has undergone some depopulation as villagers have migrated to Turkey or nearby Skopje and surrounding villages in North Macedonia.[4] Though most Macedonian-speaking Muslims are Sunni, in Pagaruša followers of Sufi Islam are present attached to various Sufi orders such as the Melami, Halveti.[5]
