[edit] History
In the past, this area was known as Gornje Sajlovo. In 1237, two villages with name Sajlovo (Gornje Sajlovo and Donje Sajlovo) were mentioned to exist in this area. The original name of these settlements was Isailovo. Settlements were named after monk Isaija from nearby monastery that existed in the 12th century in the east of Rumenka. Name Sajlovo/Isailovo is of Slavic origin, which indicate that these settlements were initially inhabited by Slavs.
In the 16th century, the village was destroyed and later Ottoman defters mention Gornje Sajlovo as heath that was inhabited by people, but not in the form of the settlement. In 1554, the Ottoman defter recorded that Sajlovo had three houses that payed taxes, while in 1570, the number of houses that payed taxes was seven. However, since Ottoman defters did not recorded houses that were liberated from paying taxes, these records do not show correct number of inhabitants of the area.
