the upper region of the river Treska - this is where it name Brod (Boat)
originates from. On the location of the present-day town, over the
waters of Treska, there was a bridge that connected the towns of Prilep

According to a tomb inscription
found in the village of Krapa, it was determined that the area was populated by
the Romans. Later, with the arrival of Slavs to the Balkan peninsula, the Slavic
tribe Berziti (Brsjaci) settled here.
In the vicinity of Brod, near
the village of Devic, visible are the remnants of buildings that confirm the
notion that in this region, in the middle ages, there was a town - settlement
that functioned as a center of the entire area. Here is the Devina Tower, built
in the vicinity of the cave Pešna, where are the remnants of the towns walls
which were, according to the legend, built by the young girl Pešna, a sister of
the hero Krale (King) Marko.
In the town and its vicinity a
large number of churches were built, among which the town's church St. Mary, St.
Dimitrius in the village of. Trebino, St. Nicholas in the village of Plasnica,
etc.
