Franciscan Petar Bakula wrote two schematisms, one for the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina in 1867, and the other for the Apostolic Vicariate of Herzegovina in 1873.[2] According to these two schematisms, in 1867, Oplećani had 25 Catholics, and in 1873, their number rose to 46.[3]

Northeast of the village there's an Illyrian fortress,[4] while in the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox cemeteries there are 24 stećci, medieval tombstones.[5]
