Krušvar is a settlement in the Municipality of Dicmo in Croatia.[4][5] In 2021, its population was 457.[2]
History
[edit]Krušvar, also known as Dicmo Gornje, belonged to the single parish of Dicmo until 1752, when it became an independent parish. Until 1858, the parish was governed by the Franciscans from the Sinj monastery of the Franciscan Province of the Most Holy Redeemer, with an interruption from 1847 to 1852. Since then, the parish priests have been secular priests. The parish is part of the Deanery of Klis.[6]
The village of Ercegovci, first settled by residents from Herzegovina at the end of the 17th century, that is on the opposite side of the karst field, belongs to the same parish.[6]
Demographics
[edit]Unlike many other villages in the Cetina region and Dalmatian hinterland, population is not decreasing. In 2016, it was reported that the primary school had about 30 students in grades 1 to 4.[6]
