Zerqan (Albanian pronunciation: IPA: [zɛɾcan]) is a village and a former municipality in Dibër County, eastern Albania.
[2] Zerqan (Zirklani) appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a settlement in the vilayet of Dulgoberda.
The village had a total of 11 households represented by the following household heads: Pop Dimitri, Gjureja son of Gjoni, Andrije brother of Pop Dimitri, Dimitri Pllasha, Kolë Sigori, Obertkoja son of Pop, Tanush Arbenasi, Kolë Osmaku, Andreja Kimëza, Martin Mimiza, and Gjergj Liu.
[3] In 1900, Vasil Kanchov gathered and compiled statistics on demographics in the area, finding a mainly Albanian area in and around Zerqan: the villages of Zerqan, Smollik, Sofraçan, and Sopot were all entirely Albanian inhabited, while Tërnovë was inhabited by Slavic Muslims.
