The favorable climate of Jadranovo attracted early settlers, with earliest traces of settlements in the area dating back to 6500 BC - 4000 BC. [3]

The archeological site at the Bay of Lokvišće includes ruins of walls that were in use from Antiquity until the 17th century. A large number of broken amphorae dating from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century BC were also found in the area. This indicates that Lokvišće was likely a small port with warehouses for the production and storage of wine and olive oil.

In the 8th and 9th Century this area was populated by Croats, from the northern region of Dalmatia. The site of today's Jadranovo was named St. James (Sveti Jakov) on a map of Iacoppa de Giroldisa in the year 1426. In the Middle Ages, Jadranovo was a coastal estate and port of the castle of Drivenik municipality. [4]

On June 14, 1952, the name Sv. Jakov – Šiljevica was abolished. In a referendum in 1954 the new name Jadranovo was chosen (other proposed names were: Ribarevo, Lovorovo, Zidarevo, Radenovo).[ citation needed ] The inhabitants were continued to be referred to as Jakovari even after the name change to Jadranovo.

Economy

Tourism is the largest part of the economy in Jadranovo. Although Jadranovo does not have a large capacity hotel, thanks to private accommodation arranged in rooms and apartments, Jadranovo can accommodate up to three thousand guests.[ citation needed ] During the summer there are fun events like the traditional fishermen's festival. Saint James's Feast is also celebrated on July 25 with live music.

Population

Jadranovo has 1,224 inhabitants (2011 census).
