     The following is an article containing a current descriptive overview of the Bosiljevo area, as well as a portion of it's history.

     The town of Bosiljevo is located approximately 25 km. WSW of the city of Karlovac. Bosiljevo is the county seat for 43 nearby villages and hamlets, covering a geographic area of approximately 111 square km. Some villages within this jurisdiction have their own village board, or committee, while others fall under a municipality (opcina) comprised of several villages or hamlets. Over the years, many residents of Bosiljevo have emigrated to the USA and Canada. Most every household in the community has relatives in another part of the world. Hopefully, this page will help someone re-establish a link to any family that may still reside there.
