Gornje Vodičevo (Serbian: Горње Водичево) is a village in the municipality of Novi Grad, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] It consists of twenty hamlets; among them are Kukavice, Vukovići, Kestenova Dolina, Bundale, Rekići, Potok, Žljeba, Šurlani (Stanići), Kolundžije, and Đurđevići-Zecovi.
History
County Vodice and village Vodičevo were mentioned for the first time in 1197 and, after that, in 1200. This county belonged to the Babonici princes.[2]
Count Stephen of Gorica of the Babonici family, who was awarded the estate of Vodičevo in Bosnia for his successful defence of the border in Bela Krajina, ceded part of this estate to the Templars before 1210.[3]
During the Turkish rule, Gornje Vodičevo was mentioned as a village in Kostajnica nahija (sub-district) in 1604.[4] A sign of the Turkish rule over this region are ruins of a fortress which was 4m long, 2m wide (inner dimensions) and 7m high made of stone. The fortress walls were 65–70 cm thick.[5] The fortress was located on the north side of hamlets Bundale and Rekići and on the right bank of the water stream called Vodičevo River.
During the second World War this village was known by their organized resistance to foreign occupation.[6][7][8]
According to a Yugoslav federal census as of 1948, this village had 142 homes and 750 inhabitants.[9]
Geography
A geological study of Gornje Vodičevo[10] was commissioned by Austro-Hungarian government in 1902. It was discovered that the village has large deposits of coal.

Najveći pionirski odred bio je u selu Gornje Vodičevo. U njemu je bilo sto pionira. Prvi rukovodioci toga odreda bili su najaktívniji pioniri (Ljuban M. Kolundžija i Rade M. Zec). Pioniri okupljeni u svoje organizacije učili su da čitaju i pišu, pomagali su članovima narodnih odbora u selu u prikupljanju hrane za NOV - ↑ Kozara: priroda, čovjek, istorija by Ljubo Mihić
