Malovište is an old Aromanian settlement in the region and its establishment dates possibly prior to the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans.[1] During the first World War, Malovište was occupied by the Bulgarian military who evacuated most of the Aromanian villagers and sent them into the interior of Bulgaria and Serbia.[1] The relocation of local Aromanians was due to Bulgarian forces being concerned that pro-Greek and pro-Serbian sympathies existed among them resulting in possible cooperation with the Entente Allies.[1] While in exile, some villagers had to fend for themselves whereas others for the Bulgarians did forced labour.[1]
In August 2013, an Aromanian cultural event was held in Malovište. It was partly sponsored by the Open Society Foundations.[2]
According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 98 inhabitants.[3] Ethnic groups in the village include:[3]
Furthermore, the Romanian-born French academic, editor and linguist Nicolas Trifon had origins from Malovište.[4]
