History
The village is first mentioned in 1491 in Ottoman records by name. At that time it belonged, like the rest of the region also, to the Ottoman Empire. Presumably, it also had another, Turkish, the name at that time.
From 1878 until the end of the First World War in 1918, the village was under Bulgarian rule and was called Zokušan ( Zlokuće ).
Then the village was annexed to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In the interwar period, the village was renamed Aleksandrovac, after the reigning Serbian king Aleksandar I Karađorđević.
After the Second World War, in 1947, the village was however renamed back to Zokušan. Only in the 80s of the 20th century, it was given the name Aleksandrovac again. During the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the underground water pipes were laid in 1975, the streets paved in 1977 and 1986 Aleksandrovac was connected to the public telephone network.
