History

As early as the third century, the Roman city of Sarnade existed here on the Salona-Servitium road (Bosnian Gradiška), later called the Thurman Road. Sarnada is also associated with the conclusions of the Salonitan Council of 530, where the pastor or archpriest of the parish of Sarnada was a signatory to the conclusions of the council. The parish at that time belonged to the diocese of Sisak.
