In 1860–1879, Matija Mažuranić wrote a 62 folio manuscript today titled Writings on the Building of Roads in Gorski Kotar and Lika (Croatian : Spisi o gradnji cesta u Gorskom Kotaru i Lici), today with signature HR-Za NSK R 6424. A 21 folio manuscript dated 1872 titled Darstellung der Entstehung des Baues ... der Luisenstrasse together with a translation by I. Mikloušić is kept as HR-Za NSK R 4572. ^{[3] : 223}

The volunteer fire department DVD Kupjak was founded in 1929, and is today part of the VZ općine Ravna Gora. ^[4] Its current commander is Igor Špoljarić. ^{[5] [6]}

The Italians withdrew from Kupjak on 25 January 1942. The Italians did not leave those towns along the railway, which they fortified with barbed wire. ^[7]

On 12 December 2017, a severe wind hit Kupjak, blocking traffic to and from it along the Kupjak-Stubica road. ^{[8] [9]}
