History
The village name is derived from aljine (dresses); historically, the Orthodox priests in the region had their clothing made from local wool.
In 1889 or 1898 a Serbian school was founded in the village. In the beginning of March 1906, an uprising broke out in the Serbian villages from Sjenica to the villages of Javor (including Aljinovići and neighbouring villages).
In 1939/40, there was 365 pupils and two teachers in the school. In April 1941, at least 34 people from Aljinovići had been taken as prisoners of war and were interned at German camps. In February 1942, there was fighting between the Yugoslav Partisans and the Chetniks in the village.
Today, there are some 50 households in the village, and it is constantly declining.
