History

The 1712–14 census of Lika and Krbava registered 2,058 inhabitants, of whom 2,051 were Serbs, called "Vlachs", and 7 were "Turks".[2][3]

In 1743 Ernst Laudon an Austrian generalisimo built a church to commemorate his children who died and were buried in Bunić and in 1746 he planted an oak forest now called by his name.[4]

The place was heavily damaged in the Second World War by the Chetniks who expelled and erased most Croats, and greatly damaged the church.[5][6]
