One
archaeological site in Orolik dating back to the
Iron Age in Europe period was
excavated in the 1970s and 1980s as a part of
rescue excavations in eastern Croatia. This archaeological site was a settlement of the late
La Tène culture settlement network of the
Scordisci in the area of
Vinkovci. During this period most of the population were Catholic Croats who remained in the village after the
Treaty of Karlowitz. In 1866 there was 205 Orthodox and 106
Roman Catholic families in the village. In 1942, Lazar "Lazo" (Stojan) Kanurić (1888, Orolik – Jasenovac, 1942), a Serb civilian and
JRZ politician, died in the
Jasenovac concentration camp. On 19 December 1993
UNPROFOR peacekeeping forces were attacked by local Serb residents of the village. == See also ==
