History

Legend claims that a Greek named Herkul founded the village.

In 1228 Hreljin signed the Vinodol act making Hreljin Castle one of nine Vinodol castles.

Hreljin was mentioned on 22 February 1481 in a document freeing the citizens of Grič from tariffs in Hreljin and elsewhere. ^[3]

In 1607 and 1608, Nikola VI Zrinski complained to the Slavonian Sabor about certain violent acts committed by the soldiers of Senj in the Bay of Bakar, where they plundered and wrecked two ships loaded with oil and grain. ^{[4] : 485  [5] : 515, 516}

On 25 March 2022 at 16:53 the ŽVOC Rijeka received a call about a wildfire in the area. 8 hectares (20 acres) burned by the time it was put out at 22:16 by JVP Rijeka, DVD Hreljin, DVD Zlobin, DVD Škrljevo and DVD Bakar. ^[6]
