Prior to the Roman conquest, the territory of the present-day Mokronoge was a part of the centre of the Dalmatae, a group of Illyrian tribes.

[4] After the Cretan War (1645–1669) between the Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire, the bishop of Makarska Marijan Lišnjić made a visit to the parish of Duvno, of which Mokronoge was a part of, and reported that although the parish of Duvno encompasses numerous villages, none of them has a church.

[5] In 1743, the apostolic vicar of Bosnia, Bishop Pavao Dragičević ordered a census to be made, which found Mokronoge, at the time part of the parish of Duvno, uninhabited, as the town of Županj Potok itself with other nearby villages.

[6][7] His successor Bishop Marijan Bogdanović conducted a census in 1768, which saw a mild increase in population in the parish of Dunvo.

[8] The 19th century was as bad for the Catholics in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the previous, marked by wars and rebellions.
