Suhovare (historically Suovare) is a settlement in Poličnik, Dalmatia, Croatia.

History[edit]

In 1332, knight Petar Mihovil's possessions and livestock held in the village of Suhovare (Zochovarie) were stolen.[3]

The village was abandoned in 1571, then resettled during the establishment of Ottoman government.[4] The rebuilt village was destroyed in 1646 by Venetian troops.[4] It was restored by returnees following major military actions in the 18th century.[4]

Demographics[edit]

According to the 1991 census, the settlement's population was 891, of whom 99.21% were Croats.[citation needed] According to the 2011 census, the total population was 508.
