history

The village is first mentioned by name in Ottoman records in 1491 . At that time, like the rest of the region, it belonged to the Ottoman Empire . It probably had a different, Turkish, name at the time.

From 1878 until the end of the First World War in 1918, the village was under Bulgarian rule and was named Zlokukya (Злокукя).

After that the village was incorporated into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes . In the interwar period , the village was renamed Aleksandrovac, after the then reigning Serbian King Aleksandar I Karađorđević .

After the Second World War, however, in 1947, the village was renamed Zokušan again. It was not renamed Aleksandrovac until the 1980s. During the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , the underground water pipes were laid in 1975, the roads were paved in 1977 and in 1986 Aleksandrovac was connected to the state telephone network.

A new Serbian Orthodox Church is being built in Aleksandrovac, dedicated to the Holy Great Martyr Pantaleon . The church belongs to the Timok Eparchy of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
