History
Village of Zagoričani was mentioned for the first time in 1400 in grant of Stjepan Ostoja to Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić. In list of neighbour places of Livno from 1711, there were 15 villages mentioned, including Zagoričani. Bishop Pavao Dragičević mentioned Zagoričani along with Potočani as one of the Croat-populated villages of Livno with other 35 villages.
Zagoričani and Potočani were one village at first, known as Podgreda. This village was scattered and had many hamlets. People who came to town Livno were serfs at the time. As population from Zagoričani came from the hill, the townsfolk named them "Zagoričani" (people from hill), thus village was named by its residents Zagoričani.
