History

The settlement initially consisted of two former villages, Tiklić or Tihlić and Bojište. The first was an estate of the old Croatian noble family of Lapčani and Karinjani. It received its current name in the 17th century from the feudal family Atlagić, which during the Ottoman period built a tower house (kula).[1]

During the Croatian War (1991–95) the settlement was part of the Republic of Serbian Krajina.
