Demographic history[edit]

Shëngjergj appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a settlement in the timar of the Muslim convert Yusuf, belonging to the wider region of Tamadhea in the vilayet of Çermeniça. The village had a total of 12 households which were represented by the following household heads: Ishri Somruni, Mihal Uraji (possibly, Vraji), Petër Mirali, Nikolla Goranzi, Petër Pirati, Nikolla Korriku, Mekshe Lleshi (possibly, Leshi), Andrije Uraji, Shar Bogdani, Gjon Bureshi, Ilia Qinami, and Petër Gurabardi.[3]
