Kazaginac
Etymology
The roots of the name Kazaginac are thought to be Turkish in origin. The Turkish word kaza means "district" while the Turkish agha refers to "master". Kazaginac thus refers to the property owned by the kazaga, a reference to Ottoman times where the landholding class was usually members of the ruling Muslim population.

The road passing through Kazaginac is an ancient route dating back to Roman times. It was part of a major road system connected to the magistral road between Salona and Hedum castellum - Argentaria, built by the governor of Dalmatia Publius Cornelius Dolabella in 18/19 AD. At the Glavina locality, there are remnants of an unknown building. At the same locality, five milestones from the 3rd century were found as well as Roman coins. Above the Šarića Kuće locality, there are also stone remnants. Near the Catholic cemetery, there's an archaeological locality called Crkvine.
In literature, Kazaginac is mentioned very late in history. The name was first mentioned in 1844 when 83 people were living in 7 houses. By 1867, the population rose to 129 people.
During the socialist Yugoslavia, until 1953, the administrative territory of Kazaginac encompassed a much wider area of surrounding settlements, not only Kazaginac, and numbered 5,020 people. Of those, 5,308 were Croats, 11 Serbs and 4 others or unidentified.
According to the 2013 census, there were 73 households and 319 people registered living in 72 dwellings.
Historically, this village has traditionally been populated by ethnic Croats of the Catholic faith.
