The history of Omiš

Omiš was founded by the Illyrians. Later, the Roman Empire conquered the territory. The Romans called the town Oneum until the 7th century. The centre was in today’s Baučić district where archaeologists found many artefacts like reliefs, gravestones and coins. The Avars and pagan Slavs destroyed the Roman territory in the 7th century.
The Neretva pirates ruled the region in the 9th and 10th centuries. Omiš was first mentioned in 1074 in the Supetar cartulary. Two crusades were led against Neretvans. The first was unsuccessful. But in 1286 the Venetian Republic and the surrounding towns managed to defeat the pirates. During Venetian Rule, locals mostly made a living from fishing.
After the dissolution of the Republic of Venice, Omiš came under Austrian rule in 1797. Then, in 1805 it fell into the hands of the French who defeated them. Following the fall of Napoleon at Leipzig, Austria gained power again over Omiš. The town was part of the Serbian-Hungarian-Slovenian Monarchy and until it joined the Independent State of Croatia, it belonged to Yugoslavia.
