In 1881, the first public male elementary school was opened in Trilj. The first teacher and the manager was Marin Britvić. Along with the public male elementary school, which was led by teachers who graduated from teaching schools, there were additional schools where parish priests worked : in Bisak, Čačvina, Grab, Košute and since 1872, Vojnić. Public elementary schools, that taught in Croatian, were established, for example, in Ugljani, 1883, in Bisak, 1893, as well as in Vojnić, in 1896.

The villages that were damaged the most were: Čaporice, Trilj, Gardun, Vojnić, Košute i Turjaci.
