Velika Plana (Albanian: Pllana e Madhe) had 124 houses inhabited by Albanians, while other sources claim 885 houses, before the Expulsion of the Albanians took place in 1877–1878.[2] All Albanians left the Prokuplje region by force of the Serbian army and fled to modern-day Kosovo, which was back then the Vilayet of Kosovo of the Ottoman Empire. These Albanians became known as Muxhahirs and were demographically Albanians of the Gheg dialect and Muslims.
Some families in Kosovo kept their surname (Pllana) as the village they were from.
