The exact time of Viti's existence as a dwelling place cannot be verified, but it is believed to be sometime in the middle Ages. Viti extends in the central part of the Morava e Epërme valley, through which river Morava e Binçës passes. It is situated in a very fertile plain suitable for cultivation of all agriculture products. Following the occupation of Albanian lands (Kosova) from the ottoman invaders, Viti region became part of Morava county. Ottoman records of 1455 show that Viti at that time had 104 units (families) with 18.801 akçe (currency) of yearly income. It was governed by Çaudar Ahmedi of Guliam Begu. During the first Balkan war in 1912, same as other parts of Kosova, Viti and its surroundings were occupied by Serbia. During World War I, it was occupied by Bulgaria and in the period between the two World Wars was occupied by Yugoslavia (1918 - 1941). During World War II , it fell under the territory occupied by Bulgaria to be reoccupied in autumn 1944 by communist Yugoslavia.
 
In 1912, Viti was announced a municipality, while during Yugoslav kingdomship was a constituting part of Vardar Banoni, with its center in Shkup/Skopje. From an administrative point-of-view, Viti was a municipality in its own, falling under Gjilan district. In 1952, Gjilan district is separated in three counties: Gjilan, Viti and Dardana. Whereas, in 1959 when the counties were transformed, Viti became a municipality in itself, as it is today.
