The city of Arandjelovac is young by Serbian standards. The basis of the city was the village of Vrbica, as well as the village of Bukovik. Here is the Bukovicka Banya resort, which was often visited by Prince Milos.

History

In 1858, prince Miloš decided to build a church in Vrbica and dedicate it to the Holy Archangel Gabriel, and form a city from parts of the villages of Vrbica and Bukovik, which he gave the name Arandjelovac (“City of the Archangel”).

The Arandjelovites were considered loyal to the Obrenović dynasty and reluctantly accepted the change of royal dynasty in 1903.
