History
In 1880 Črna had a population of 19 people living in three houses. By 1900, there were only 13 people,
and by 1961 the population had declined to nine; this fell further to only five in 1965.
At the time, the settlement consisted of only three farms, one of which had been abandoned.
Črna was annexed by Dole in 1964, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
[''Spremembe naselij 1948–95''. 1996. Database. Ljubljana: Geografski inštitut ZRC SAZU, DZS.] There was formerly a mill along Black Creek below the settlement; the remnants of a weir and a footbridge remain at the site.
