Its position at that time was on the northern bank of Svrčin Lake. After the mass expulsion of the Albanians from the former Sanjak of Niş by the Principality of Serbia, many Muhaxhir refugee families settled in Shtime and its surroundings. During the Yugoslav colonisation of Kosovo, 95 Serbo-Montenegrin colonist families were settled in Shtime and the surrounding villages by the Yugoslav government. During World War II, Albanians looted and demolished the Serbian church in the municipality. The municipality of Shtime was established in 19881 by settlements that were previously part of the municipalities of Ferizaj and Lipjan. It was established with a total of 23 settlements: 19 from Ferizaj and 4 from Lipjan. The town itself was chosen as the seat of the municipality.
