Description

Svinište is mentioned in a Slavonic Menaion from 1420 (u Sviništa). It is registered as Dolno and Gorno Svinište in the Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from the years 1570 to 1572.
It seems that this village was deserted in the last quarter of the 16th century and that its inhabitants founded a new village with the same name (today Svinjište) in the region of Preševo (today Republic of Serbia).
