Before the Croatian war, the village was mostly populated by ethnic Serbs, with a tiny Croat minority. The main economic activity was agriculture and animal husbandry. Following the Operation Storm in August 1995, the village became uninhabited and all Serb houses were looted and destroyed. In recent years, some people have started to rebuild their houses and a small number of former villagers have decided to resettle in Baljci.
