Tropojë's old name was Trebopolje and is recorded in Serbian medieval charters and Ottoman registers. The word itself comes from the old Slavic trebiti, ‘to clean’, and polje, ‘field’, i.e. ‘clean field’. The region was inhabited by Illyrian tribes. Archaeological evidence found in the area, such as castles or tumuli, shows that the area has been populated since the ancient time. The region lies in the geographical span of the Dardani tribes. Tropojë Municipality is located on the bank of Valbonë River between the Albanian Alps in northeastern Albania bordering Montenegro to the northwest and Kosovo to the northeast and east.
