History
The area of Doljani has been inhabited since earlier periods, with the local population traditionally engaged in agriculture, livestock breeding, and forestry. During the time of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Doljani functioned as a rural settlement within the municipality of Jablanica, with gradual development of local infrastructure.
During the Bosnian War (1992–1995), Doljani and its surrounding areas were affected by armed conflict between the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) and the Croatian Defence Council (HVO). The conflict resulted in destruction of property, displacement of civilians, and significant demographic changes. In 1993, the area was the site of the Sovići and Doljani killings, in which civilians and prisoners of war were killed.
