History

The Greeks called this island Chersos. Later this became Cresta.

In the early 9th century Slavs began settling here. It developed as a city-state under the protection of the Byzantines. The Venetians came to dominate Cres and neighboring islands in the 10th and 11th centuries.

Following a brief Napoleonic conquest, Dubrovnik was ceded to the Austrian Empire.
