The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3] The settlement includes the hamlets of Vranove Njivice, Podgora, Mandrge, Podvas, Grdi Dol (German: Gerdido[2]), and Bravčji Vrt.[4]

Zamostec was attested in historical sources as Pruͤklein in 1343 and Prukchlein in 1444, among other spellings.[5]
