[2] Evidence of early settlement of the area has been found at the Zgornja Zadobrova archaeological site.

Finds include stone items from prehistoric settlement and a sestertius issued during the reign of Trajan.

[5] The Ljuk Mill (Slovene: Ljukov Mlin) formerly stood along a small creek northeast of the village.

The community center also includes the agricultural cooperative office, a bar, a shop, a movie theater, and public hall.

Zgornja Zadobrova was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1982, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
