Povijest
Podno benediktinskog samostana na Ćokovcu, formiralo se naselje težaka i ribara koji su stoljećima nadgledali strateški ulaz u Pašmanski kanal kao dio puta od Vanecije do Svete zemlje. Sjedište popovske glagoljaške bratovštine i stoga s većom dozom autonomije pod Mlecima. U drugom svjetskom ratu Njemci ga fortificiraju pa ga saveznici u više navrata bombardiraju. Dvadesetak poginulih stanovnika i oštećena župna crkva Sv. Tome. |
