Gomilica

Gomilica is a place name used for several rural settlements in the Balkans. It appears in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia, among other areas. The name likely derives from the Slavic word gomila, meaning a heap or mound, with the suffix -ica forming a toponym that can denote a small hillock or a settlement located on such a feature. As a result, Gomilica typically describes a small, hillside- or knoll-adjacent community rather than a major town.

Most places called Gomilica are small, agriculturally oriented communities. They usually lie in rural hinterlands, with local roads connecting them to larger municipalities. The local economy in these villages commonly centers on farming, orchards, and small-scale livestock, with some residents employed in nearby towns or regional services.

Demographic records for each Gomilica vary. In general, villages with this name have modest populations and, like many rural settlements, face challenges such as aging populations and outmigration. Historical notes about individual Gomilicas reflect broader regional patterns, including changes in land use, infrastructure, and governance during the 20th century.

Because Gomilica refers to more than one locality, precise information requires identifying the country and municipality involved. If a specific Gomilica is referenced, providing its country or district helps locate the exact article or data.
