History
During the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, Čavoglave was on the very front line, but they were never occupied in the 1991 Yugoslav campaign in Croatia. A large number of locals took part in the fight against Krajina Serbs. Čavoglave was popularized by Marko Perković Thompson's song "Bojna Čavoglave". The village is also Thompson's birthplace, and on his initiative, the Church of Croatian Martyrs was built there. There is an annual fund raising concert in honor of Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day in Čavoglave. On 26 March 2022 at 12:17 the ŽVOC Šibenik received a call about a wildfire in the area. burned by the time it was localised at 18:07 and put out at 6:05 on the 27th by JVP Drniš, JVP Knin, IVP Šibenik, DVD Unešić and DVD Drniš with the help of a Canadair CL-415.
