The name of the village, Prebilovci, first emerged sometime around the 15th century, and is believed to have come from the old family of PribiloviÃÂ. In the Serb Orthodox cemetery and in some other locations too, there are many beautifully carved out stone graves, probably of bogomils from the Middle Ages. There is also an old grave which is believed to have belonged to a certain Stjepan PribiloviÃÂ. Today the name Pribilovci is also more frequently used for the village.
Before the outbreak of the Second World War In Yugoslavia, the village was made up of Serbs and a few Bosniak families as well. The present population is primary made up of Serbs, ever since the war drew to a close, when the Bosniaks left their homes or were expelled because of the ethnic tensions.
During the Second World War, on 6 August 1941, Croatian forces lead the Prebilovci Massacre. Some 650 women and children were taken away from their homes, after which they were moved to a place called à  urmanci, where they were later thrown to death into natural pits around that area (the most infamous being Golubinka pit), together with 1,300 other Serbs living in the ÃÂapljina and Mostar municipalities.
The village was attacked again in 1992, with memorial and remains to the Prebilovci Massacre's victims being destroyed.
