The "La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne" survey by Dimitar Mishev (D. Brankov) from 1905 shows that the inhabitants of the village of Glubochani were in the bosom of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.[3]
A survey by Georgi Trajčev in 1911 stated the village as having 33 houses and 319 residents.[4]
