History
At the beginning of the 20th century, Jevnica had only three houses and was a hamlet of
Styria. Many of the residents joined the Partisan movement on 6 January 1943. A plaque on the Pintar house states that the woman living there burned to death when German forces burned the house in November 1944. A community center with a store, bar, and hall was built in Jevnica in 1948.[4]
