[7] Located a short drive from Dugopolje in the village of Kotlenice (in the Dalmatian hinterland), the Vranjača Cave is increasingly becoming a popular tourist destination for those interested in exploring nature.

Many graveyards from approximately the 4th century were found nearby, implying that the Ilyrians descended from the hills and built a settlement there road-side.

It was first sieged by Italians in January 1942 on their way to Split through the Rera railway, killing 7 peasants and burning down several houses in the process.

[14] After World War II, Dugopolje was a part of Yugoslavia, and fell under the administration of Solin municipality, and eventually had electricity and waterlines installed.

At first, it was a transit spot for passengers on the D1 road between Split and Sinj, but in the early 21st century, the A1 motorway was built, and Dugopolje became the important intersection towards Split, thus providing the opportunity to Zlatko Ževrnja who was the Dugopolje mayor at the time, to design and build the biggest industrial zone in Dalmatia, which at one point had more people working in it than the population of the whole village.
