During the reign of the Ottoman Empire, a defter in 1485 recorded the village as having a monastery, consecrated in the name of John the Baptist.

However, the monastery disappeared from record and is thought to have occupied the site of the current cemetery in Osojane.

[2] In 1999 following the end of the Kosovo War, the entire population of Osojane fled after the village was destroyed.

The village was chosen as a showcase for the return of some of the thousands of Serbs who fled Kosovo.

Following a $5 million USD investment by the U.S Government and protection from Spanish KFOR troops, 80 Serbs returned to Osojane.
