History

One archaeological site in Orolik dating back to Iron Age in Europe period was excavated in the 1970s and 1980s as a part of rescue excavations in eastern Croatia.[1] Archaeological site was a settlement of the late La Tène culture settlement network of the Scordisci in the area of Vinkovci.[1] First excavations of Scordisci sites began in late XIX century during the time of Austro-Hungarian Empire.[1]

Orolik was established in XVI century during the Ottoman rule in Hungary.[2] Majority population in Ottoman period were Catholic Croats who remained in the village after the Treaty of Karlowitz.[2] In 1715 local church register is stating that there is 19 inhabited houses in total in the entire village.[2] During the next decade Hofkammer in Vienna settled 20 families of Eastern Orthodox Vlachs or Serbs in the village.[2] In 1866 there was 205 Orthodox and 106 Roman Catholic families in the village.[2]

gollark: Again, you seem to just be explaining things poorly. You remind me vaguely of caveman, who seems to not be on here now.
gollark: It's kind of dodecahedral to go around complaining about people not understanding you (and implying it's some failure on their part) and then refusing to try explaining it in better ways.
gollark: > oh the obvious reality is that people dont know what they dont know, and even i didnt conclude that, tho i see it now. doesnt keep me from being impatient and getting madMaybe you should try explaining better if you think you have some great insight people do not understand.
gollark: My family has a pet one, but it actually just mostly sits in a rock thing in its terrarium.
gollark: Geckos are really quite cool reptiles.
