[4] During this period most of the population were Catholic Croats who remained in the village after the Treaty of Karlowitz. [4] In 1715 the local church register records that there were 19 inhabited houses total in the entire village. [4] During the next decade Hofkammer in Vienna settled 20 families of Eastern Orthodox Vlachs or Serbs in the village. [4] In 1866 there was 205 Orthodox and 106 Roman Catholic families in the village. [4]

According to the 1890 census, Orolik had 936 inhabitants, of which 521 were Roman Catholics, 384 Orthodox, 20 Jews, 5 Lutherans, 5 Nazarenes and 1 Greek Catholic. [5]
