History

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-ZaNSK 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-ZaNSK R 4572.[1]: 223

The volunteer fire department DVD Kupjak was founded in 1929, and is today part of the VZ općine Ravna Gora.[2] Its current commander is Igor Špoljarić.[3][4]

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.[5]

On 12 December 2017, a severe wind hit Kupjak, blocking traffic to and from it along the Kupjak-Stubica road.[6][7]
