Doljani

Doljani is one of the nine settlements administered by the Town of Daruvar in Bjelovar-Bilogora County. Croatia’s 2021 census records 655 residents, 258 households and 350 housing units in the settlement. Daruvar’s municipal documents list Doljani as its own local committee, alongside Daruvarski Vinogradi, Donji Daruvar, Gornji Daruvar and the town’s other settlements. Older statistical records used the name Doljani Podborski from 1910 to 1981. That suffix connects the village with Podborje, the older regional name that also survived in names of nearby settlements after Daruvar acquired its present name. A scholarly study of Orthodox parishes in the Daruvar area includes Doljani among the places whose settlement history can be traced from the late seventeenth through the eighteenth century. Doljani’s present-day identity is therefore more than its closeness to Daruvar: it is also expressed through its local committee, the historic Podborski name and a long, documented settlement history.
