History
The 1712–14 census of Lika and Krbava registered 2,058 inhabitants, of whom 2,051 were Vlachs, and 7 were " Turks". [4] [5]
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. [6]
The place was heavily damaged in the Second World War by the Croatian Ustashe who expelled and erased most Serbs, and greatly damaged the church. [7] [8]
