History

Pre-Turkish

Lukovdol was first mentioned on 22 February 1481 in a document freeing the citizens of Grič from tariffs in Lukovdol and elsewhere.

From the Modruše urbarium of 1486 it is known that the villagers of Lukovdol each paid 84 solidi to Lord Bernardin Frankopan annually, in addition to 3 soldini at Christmastide (a lower rate due to their poverty). Each farm encompassed an average of 9.6 morgens of land, of which 4 were always pasture. The glebe was only 6 morgens, of which 4 pasture. By that time, only 13 farms remained, as 7 had been left uninhabited (Bartolovo, Grdče, Ivanče, Jureče, Pičeće, Prstačje, and the farms of Dujam Kulčić and Grgur Lagotić). The survivors included 4 Ostronić farms (Bartol, Grge, Vid, Vrban), 2 Bartolić farms (Mavar, Mike), and the farms of Stipan Grišnjaković, Jake Grklić, Mavar Jarnedaković, Petar Mihalić, Mavar Peretić, Janže Požrelić, and Broz Strgarić.

Governance

National

On the day of the 1867 Croatian parliamentary election in Lukovdol općina, 8 December, SP partisan Marko Domitrović of Zdihovo arrived claiming to have been sent by Ban Levin Rauch and Grand Župan Mirko Bogović. First, before the elections, he went around urging voters to vote for the government's candidate, issuing threats to state workers that they would lose their jobs if they did not vote for the NUS. Then, once the elections had begun, he blocked the entrance to the poll in the parish priest's house with the justification that elections were to be held in the open, despite the locally snowy conditions. The president of the deputation, Radoslav Lopašić, together with secretary Kovačić, pointed out to Domitrović that he did not himself have the right to vote in Lukovdol as a non-resident, at which Domitrović angrily retorted that "in three days" he would "take him away to Zagreb in chains". Lopašić asked him to show a legal document granting him such rights, and when he failed to produce one, he pointed out to Domitrović that as a judge he could have him arrested, but did not because it was a Sunday and the bell rang for mass. Many listened to Domitrović anyway and some left for Plemenitaš, where J. Medved was ultimately chosen. The next day, judge Lopašić escorted Domitrović on his way to Zagreb, but only after getting Domitrović to sign an admission that he had been sent by Rauch and Bogović.
