History

Ottoman Empire

In period between 15th and 17th century there were two villages Goričani, one on the left and one on the right bank of river Morača. In 1485 the village on the left bank was recorded in the Ottoman defter as timar with 10 households. The village on the right bank belonged to Ivan Crnojević until Ottomans captured his realm too.[1] This village on the right bank of the river was expanded through immigration and its name was gradually changed to Vukovci.
