West of the village, the springs of Manastirishte, Leskoo Kladenche, Ezerishte and Milea Cesma sprang up.

The places in the area bear the following names: Steže, Ropeš, Opaljenik, Kobel, Radobirka, Klenika, Kalojca, Skršena Vrba, Orlov Dab, Grobishta, Kale, Manastirishte, Čair, Šero Trlo, Cer, Limanova Niva, Alimov Kamen and Spaiski Grobishta.

Traces of antiquity are found in the Kale area, a hill west of Vrboec (945 metres (3,100 ft)).

At the Manastirishte site, about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) west of the village, there are smaller terraces with meadows and a fountain.

From the first half of the 19th century, Muslim Albanians from Northern Albania began to settle here, who came through Debar.

The main Albanian families were: Redzepovci, Ajrovci, Dalipovci, Amedovci, Shutevci, Chakre, Svetotododorci and others.

In the period 1912-1926, the Albanians left the village, selling their fields and houses, going to Bitola, Turkey and Albania.

According to a German map published in 1941, based on the 1931 census of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the village had 150 Macedonians.

Vrboec is a Macedonian village, and previously Albanian and until recently Vlach clans also lived there.

[clarification needed] In the past, the village also had the church St. Athanasius, from which remains of the walls were known until the 20th century.
