No mention of Novi Selo is found in Turkish sources of the older period, which is why it can be assumed that it is of a younger origin, which is indicated by its name.

In the Turkish census from 1498, however, the village of Donji Bubanj is mentioned with 41 houses and 5 mills, which then mysteriously disappeared (probably at the end of the 17th or in the first half of the 18th century).

Liberation in 1878 found it as a village in the clearings on the left bank of Nišava with 11 homes and 85 inhabitants, ruled by Mustafa Bey from Niš.

Thanks to the good land and even more the proximity of Prokupačka road and Niš, Novo Selo began to attract settlers already in the interwar period.

His one-story house and shop were bought in 1927 by Jovan Jović, a village carpenter, originally from Vranjska Banja.
