It received its current name in the 17th century from the feudal family Atlagić, which during the Ottoman period built a tower house (kula).[3]

6. travnja 1444. god. došla su u Zadar četiri predstavnika sela Tihlića: Ivan Marinović, Mihovil Korlatović, Nikola Dražetić i Ratko Božićković i sklopili ugovor pred notarom Ivanom Kalcinom s trojicom zadarskih graditelja Vukom Slavogostovim, Nikolom Bilšićem i Jurijem Zurevićem. Majstori su se obvezali da će sgraditi crkvu za cijenu od 55 dukata i pristupiti poslu čim im naručioci iskopaju temelje i nabave sav potrebni građevinski materijal. Kao jamac za majstore navodi se u ugovoru zadarski plemić Grgur Mrganić.
