History

Medieval Bosnian state

In ancient times it belonged to Podgorje, a mountainous region between

Zeta, which corresponded to zemlja in sense of size and possibly socio-political organisation and was first mentioned in the semi-mythical Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja
. From the 12th century, when the oldest written mention of Koma dates, until the Ottoman destruction, it was a developed, transport, economic, military and culturally important area. The parish is named after its center, the old town of Kom, located on the hard-to-pass mountain ridge above the village of Kašić. Only ruins remain of it. Bosnian kings, Dubrovnik magnates and merchants strove for it. Kom was an important seat of the Sanković noble family from Hum. The main church in the parish was built in the 12th century next to the banks of the Neretva in the village of Razići and was more important than the one in Biskup, where the Sanković family tomb was located. There was a cemetery next to the church. Stećci were placed on the graves. In order to secure an important thoroughfare and cross roads, the town of Gradac was built, which was once a municipality. The customs house operated in Kom, as evidenced by a document from 1381 that mentions the collection of customs in this area. Trade was particularly developed, in which the people of Dubrovnik held primacy. On May 15, 1391, Duke Radič Sanković issued them a charter that they could trade in his lands, including the Koma parish. Pavao Anđelić found evidence of Dubrovnik's presence and trade in this area, when in the 1960s, while exploring the city of Kom, he found a Dubrovnik grosz. Vrela is also mentioned as a parish at the end of the 14th century, which was rare at the time, because then larger aristocratic estates were called principalities. From that time, the Koma area was called Župa, which name has remained to this day.

Kom župa was one of the main properties of the Sanković family, although their family manors were in Zaborani. The main economic branches were farming, cattle breeding and mining. There were miners at Kula, Razići and Dudle. The inhabitants were also engaged in beekeeping, hunting and fishing, and the villagers of the selected villages were given the task of supplying the Sankovići with honey, fish, game and the like.[2]

Ottoman conquest and reign

hans were built where travelers to Sarajevo, Bjelimići, Konjic or Nevesinje spent the night. Towards the end of Ottoman times, župa was recorded in the administrative books under the name Džemat Župa, and it remained until the arrival of Austria-Hungary
.

Austria-Hungary conquest and reign

The Muslim population strongly resisted the Austro-Hungarian forces in 1878. After Vrapč, the battles were fought on the right bank of the Neretva. There was a significant skirmish in Ribari village below Bajić Glavica. In 1882, insurgents fought against Austro-Hungarian army in Herzegovina Uprising. In the first battle, 150 insurgents under the leadership of Sulejman-bey Šurković from Bjelimići defeated the Austro-Hungarian army at the bridge in Glavatičevo.[3]
