History of the Eastern Orthodox community in Orolik

In 1732 the Court Chamber (German: Hofkammer) of the Habsburg Empire decided to increase the total population of Orolik (which in 1715 had 19 Roman Catholich households) by settling 12 Eastern Orthodox families from the Lika, Otočac and Ogulin Regiments of the Karlovac General Command of the Croatian Military Frontier. In 1766 there was 38 Eastern Orthodox households and in 1791 there was 51 households with 329 inhabitants. In 1791 local Orthodox parish took over responsibilities for Eastern Orthodox community in Berak (8 households) and Komletinci (2 households).
