First settlers to Blagovac were the Todoroviċ family. After the World War 2 most of the land that was owned by the Todorovic family was stolen by, at that time, the "new communist" government. On one of the big sites close to the highway Unis-Pretis was built. The Todorovic family was never compensated for any of the lost parts of the land by even the new Bosnian Government.
