History

Gorna Gorica is the location of a fortified town called Pellion of the ancient Greek tribe of the Dexaroi. The site later became an ancient Macedonian fortress.

In the late 19th century, the village came under the Bulgarian Exarchate. According to the exarchate, the village had 33 houses and 404 Orthodox Christian residents at that time.

In 2013, the village's official name was changed from "Goricë e Madhe" to "Gorna Gorica".
