History
Ozrinići was first mentioned in the 1489 charter of Ivan Crnojević, then in the 1570–71 defter (tax register) of Dukagjin. Five families of the Ozrinići founded the settlement of Ozrinići in the Nikšić area in 1597. Ozrinići was the largest tribe in Katunska nahija, one of the four provinces of Old Montenegro.
In 1829, the Ozrinići and Cuce had an armed conflict against neighboring Bjelice, and Petar I Petrović-Njegoš sent Sima Milutinović Sarajlija and Mojsije to negotiate peace among them.
