Golem Papradnik (Macedonian: Голем Папрадник) is a village in the municipality of Centar Župa, North Macedonia.

Demographics

Golem Papradnik (Papratnik) is recorded in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the vilayet of Upper Dibra. The settlement was abandoned.[1]

According to Ottoman tahrir defters from the 1520s, 16 villages (all present-day Centar Župa villages) associated with Kala-i Kodžadžik had no Muslim population. However, the Muslim population increased in subsequent years. This was likely part of the Islamization of Macedonia under Turkish rule.[2]

In the 1901 Ethnographic Map of the Bitola Vilayet, produced by the Sofia Cartography Institute, Golemo Papranci part of the Sanjak of Dibra—is depicted as a village of 126 households with a mixed population of Bulgarians, Pomaks, Albanians, and Turks.[3]

As of the 2021 census, Golem Papradnik had 443 residents with the following ethnic composition:[4]

  • Turks 329
  • Persons for whom data are taken from administrative sources 79
  • Macedonians 22
  • Albanians 11
  • Others 2

According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 840 inhabitants.[5] Ethnic groups in the village include:[5]
