Skrad was first mentioned on 22 February 1481 in a document freeing the citizens of Grič from tariffs in Skrad and elsewhere, unless the other Skrad was intended.[3]
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-ZaNSKR 6424. A 21 folio manuscript dated 1872 titled Darstellung der Entstehung des Baues ... der Luisenstrasse togethr with a translation by I. Mikloušić is kept as HR-ZaNSKR 4572.[4]:223
The volunteer fire department DVD Skrad was founded on 1 March 1932,[5] and is today part of the Požarno područje Gorski kotar IV. Its current commander is Davor Štimac.[6]
From 31 January to 2 February 2014, while S and SW geostrophic wind dominated,[7]freezing rain fell on Gorski Kotar, glazing the entire region. It wrecked roofs, power lines an forests, causing power loss for about 14,000 households households in Gorski Kotar, or about 80% of its population. It took about 10 days to restore essential infrastructure to the region, and within months electricity was back in most of its former range, but at a cost of about 84.4 million HRK to HEP. At the time it was the largest peacetime damage since its Secession from Yugoslavia, even without counting the forestry losses. The Šumarija Skrad lost 2% of its wood mass.[8] Clearing blocked forestry roads and forest paths would take years, and thanks to the declining population some were never cleared.[9]
On 12 December 2017, a severe wind hit Skrad, blocking traffic to and from it along the Kupjak-Stubica road.[10][11]
