A former Ottoman fortress existed in the location of Kodžadžik before the end of the first half of the 15th century. Scholars such Smiljanić and Hadži Vasiljević noted that a battle between Skanderbeg and the Ottoman Turks occurred in the area from which the name of the village is derived from the Turkish expression kocacenk meaning big battle.
According to historians, the village was mentioned for the first time in 1385 and the name of the village means "Great Battle". It was known Svetigrad or Sfetigrad before the Ottoman conquest in 1448. Kodžadžik is known for the fact that the house of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's parents is located in the village. A Memorial House of Kemal Atatürk is currently being constructed in Kodžadžik.
Kodžadžik was the scene of the Siege of Svetigrad during 1448, in which Ottoman forces captured it from forces of the League of Lezhë after sieging it for three months.
