In 1610 Regenes of Venice writes that when they were looking for a wafer at the Rrëmaj, they passed through the Field of Gjuhadoli (“Passava per la fertile compagna di Glucadoli”).

Urban legends say that a priest had to go to a village near Shkodra (somewhere near todays Gjuhadol). Since it was summer and he was thirsty and tired from walking the long distance, people started to call the neirgborhood “Gjuhadol,” the place where my tongue got out.
