History
In 1860–1879, Matija Mažuranić wrote a 62 folio manuscript today titled Writings on the Building of Roads in Gorski Kotar and Lika (Croatian: Spisi o gradnji cesta u Gorskom Kotaru i Lici), today with signature HR-ZaNSK R 6424. A 21 folio manuscript dated 1872 titled Darstellung der Entstehung des Baues ... der Luisenstrasse togethr with a translation by I. Mikloušić is kept as HR-ZaNSK R 4572.[4]: 223
In 1864, a rinderpest outbreak in Bosanci and Kasuni caused the Lujzijana to be closed to horned traffic for 21 days in December.[5]
World War II
On 13 April 1941, Ante Pavelić arrived in Tomići on his way to Zagreb. It was Julian Palm Sunday that day, so most of the 83 residents of Tomići were dressed up and at home. Pavelić's Ustaše besieged the village and arrested about fifteen men who out of curiosity came out to observe the new army. The Ustaše then entered the house of Tone Marinić and, seeing he had a long moustache, accused him of being a Chetnik. Marinić replied he was a Croat, upon hearing which the Ustaše pressed him for information about Chetniks in the village. Marinić replied there were none, and since upon searching all the houses in the village they found no arms, the Ustaše lined up the villagers and forced them to shout, "Long live Ante Pavelić!" (Croatian: Živio Ante Pavelić!) when Pavelić drove through.[6]: 348
On 3 August, the Ustaše arrested 85 (or 63) Serb railway workers in Srpske Moravice. These were transferred to Ogulin, then Koprivnica, then Gospić then Jadovno where they were killed. On the night of the 2nd, Dušan Rajnović of Tomići had been on duty together with Lazo Jakšić. After midnight, a man approached them and warned them that the Ustaše had arrived at the station and were arresting night shift workers. A freight train had arrived around 23:00 carrying 8 Ustaše, awaited by a group of Ustaše from Moravice with lists of those who would be arrested. The two hid atop the tin-covered locomotive of series 32. Cvitešić arrived with an armed Ustaša, approached by Ivan Brajdić who asked, "Where are the locomotive watchers?" Brajdić answered he didn't know. Lazo, afraid, surrendered himself, and they bound him immediately. Dušan Rajnović fled home and at dawn left for Radigojna, warning Simik Juzbašić and Simo Rajnović-Mićičin not to come to work, but only Juzbašić heeded the warning. Rajnović-Mićičin never returned.[6]: 362–364
