Ceramics of Černa Voda III-culture dating to the Early and Middle Bronze Age have been found in Bubanj.[1]

10,000 people from Niš and south Serbia were shot during World War II in Bubanj. In the memory of the dead a monument, in the shape of three monumental clenched fists, was memorialized in 1963. It is a work of sculptor Ivan Sabolić and symbolizes the resistance of the people during the World War II.
