Toša Djordjević (c. 1790-1850) was well-known for his bravery in the First Serbian Uprising. He was the right-hand-man of Hajduk Veljko Petrović during the liberation of the Gurgusovačkog kraja, today's Knjaževac district. After the liberation, Toša was elevated to the rank of voivode of the district. [1] Years later, Toša Djordjević fell in disfavour when the Miloš government removed him as the Captain of Zaglavlje after the suppression of a rebellion in a Bulgarian town of Belogradchik rebellion (1836) in 1836. [2]Miloš did this as a diplomatic move to appease the Sublime Porte and remove all existing rumours of troubles brewing at the borders of Serbia and Bulgaria.
Toša Djordjević died in 1850 in Knjaževac.
