Gopeš Place The village of Gopeš is a pre-Ottoman village in the region of Bitola. Theodor Capidan claims that the first Vlachs in Gopeš came from Moglena/Meglen in the second half of the 13th century. Some researchers claim that the village existed as a Vlach settlement as early as the start of the 14th century, though it may have been confused with another settlement of the same name in the Devol valley in Opar (Albania). G. Zuca thinks that the first Vlach settlers came to Gopeš before the mid-17th century, from Fourka near Konitsa. T. Papahagi states that the first Vlach nucleus in Gopeš came into being in the second half of the 17th century, and that these Vlachs from Moglena soon assimilated the indegenious Slavs. In the Ottoman registers of the sanjak Ohrid from 1583 15 Christian families and 19 male inhabitants are registered in Gopeš, though their names do not solve the dilemma, if these inhabitants were Vlachs or Slavs. G. Zuca writes that the original location of the village was 2-3 km south of its current location, at the place called Curia al Simu. In 1800 Gopeš reportedly had 120 houses, while 800 houses and 4,800 inhabitants were counted in 1870. In 1900 the Bulgarian Vassil Kančov registers 2,460 inhabitants in Gopeš, all Vlachs. In 2002 Gopeš had 53 houses with 0 (zero) inhabitants according to the population census conducted in the (FY) Republic of Macedonia. The village is located in mountainous terrain in the western part of the Municipality of Bitola. Between 23 and 31 December 1633 Nicio from the village of Gopeš accused some inhabitants of the village of Kutretino for robbing him and killing his friends. On 26 December 1734 a plea was sent to Sultan Mahmud I by certain Husein Bacdar to arrest the bandits Cocio Yorgo, Dimo Nano and Papa Kosta, all from Malovište, as well as the bandits Nicio Kiras and Papa Nicio from Gopeš, who robbed and killed his brother Bacdar Mustafa near the town of Prilep.
