History and monuments

The community of Orebic was founded at the end of 15^th and at the beginning of 16^th century on the land of the former Republic of Dubrovnik. The original name of the village was Trstenica which is now the name of the local creek, bay and football stadium. Orebic was named after a local noble family in 1586. Members of this family used to be important sea captains. They rebuilt the castle in the middle of the village and called it Orebic. From the 14^th until 19^th century it served as a seat of the priest and it was subordinated to the Republic of Dubrovnik.

Since the 17^th century boats from Peljesac have become more and more important for Dubrovnik. Thanks to this fact, their owners became more powerful and started to invest into the common sails. The power continued to increase and a shareholding company for long sailboat building was founded in 1865.
