In 1584, Orebić was named after the Orebić family of sea captains who renovated the old castle and laid the foundations of the town.
Founded at the turn of the 16th century within the Republic of Dubrovnik, Orebić has always been a seafaring town. In the 17th century, the ships of Pelješac were an important part of Dubrovnik’s merchant marine. The first shipyard on Pelješac was founded by Emperor Franz Joseph in the late 19th century. The importance of seafaring is witnessed by the many captains’ houses and summer residences, and the vineyards and olive groves show how agriculture developed alongside it.
