First evidence of the existence of early settlements was found in the 1980s, when a tomb with an inscription from the 2nd century was discovered during the construction of a shopping center. The find is now in the city's cultural center.

Koxha Sinan Pasha is considered to be the founder of today's city in the 16th century. Koxha Sinan Pasha built a mosque that still stands today; a school; two inns; a hammam; a castle and several mills on the Lepenc river.

The city also has a train station on the main north-south connection of the Trainkos from Fushë Kosova to Thessaloniki (built in 1879). Between Fushë Kosova and Hani e Elezit there are two passenger trains per day in each direction.
