The first written documents date from 339 B.C. and already in 530, a Diocese was founded here. During the turbulent centuries, because of its geo-strategic position, Skradin was constantly aimed at. When the Slavic tribes arrived in the area in the 7th ct., the Roman Scardona was completely destroyed and devastated. The Croats rebuild the settlement and its today's name was first mentioned in the 10th ct. as a Bishoph's see.
The mighty Croatian Subic princes from Bribir ruled from here. In 1522 Skradin comes under the rule of the Turks who stay here till 1684 when the Venetians take over. They rule till 1797 when the French take over and finally the Austrians.
The former inhabitants of Skradin were almost exclusively farmers who planted olive trees, wine grapes and fruit trees. Today they still stick to their traditional farming and because of the mixed waters in the bay there are fish and mussels farms, too.
