Dicmo

Dicmo is a municipality made up of small villages located on the bottom of several foot-hills and edges of a stretched karst field, connected via the D1 road in the middle of the field, with Sinj 10 km to the north, A1 Motorway 7 km to the south and Split 20 km to the south-west.

Dicmo has been inhabited since the Ilyrian ages, but the first mentions of it and its name comes from the word "Decimanum", because it was the "tenth mile" on the ancient road between Salona and Aequum. Throughout its history, the village has been a transit stop for both commercial and military reasons, and like the rest of today's Croatia, often changed administrations, due to the both Ottoman and Morean wars. During the Austro-Hungarian rule, a railway between Sinj and Split, "Rera", whose route passed through Dicmo is built. World War II came up and Dicmo was once again a transit route, this time for Italians and Germans on their path to Split, which allowed Italians to build a watchtower next to the local train station, the ruins of which can be seen to this day. At the beginning, there was a mix of sides, but after 1943, residents joined the fight against Axis powers. Notable WW2 event in the municipality took place in the Butige hamlet where several Ustaše soldiers were intrcepted by Sinj partisans and eventually taken into Huso's pit (Husina jama), a mt. Kamešnica site where dozens of axis bodies were disposed. During the Yugoslav era, the area was under a former municipality of Sinj, during which the Rera railway was shut down, D1 road was built in the 1960s, while the electricity and the waterlines were installed in the 1970s. Many inhabitants of the municipality took part in the Croatian War of Independence, after which Dicmo became a part of Croatia and a municipality in the Split-Dalmatia county, with the HDZ (Croatian Democrat Party) as a local leading political party. Most notable investment during the 21st century, during the ruling of the independent political party, is the municipality's Industrial Zone, with over 500 people from the nearby region employed in it.
